A Trip to Spreyton, Devon - 24th December 2012

For the first time in several years, it's Christmas away as we head down to Spreyton in Devon to stay with Mother for a few days. The journey down is mostly good, apart from a closed junction on the M4. After we get through that, we stop off at a deserted Reading services minutes after it had re-opened having been closed for the day due to flooding.
