Monday 9th

Definitely not the usual pictures on the cam for a couple of days, I'm starting a long road trip to South Devon

through slow-moving traffic in Birmingham, this is Strensham on the M5

.

Sedgemoor, near Burham on Sea, a break and enough juice to get to journey's end

there's even some blue sky

.

.

staying in Paignton, but where is the sunny spot I remember

windy and wet to the pier along the promenade

.

.

the skies have cleaered for a time. Paignton Pier at night
