The bar of the Tom Cobley, with Roger and Lewis
A Short Trip to Spreyton, Devon - 18th January 2020
Nosher heads down to Devon, on a 700-mile round trip, for a day and a half to help Sis sort some paperwork out. On the upside, it means a chance to spend two whole evenings in the Tom Cobley - the best pub in Devon. It's also an opportunity to give the A303 a second (or third) chance, after the last time we tried it led to an eight-hour epic because half of it was closed.

There's a memorial to Daz, the Tom Cobley Cat
The Cobley, by night
Mother's fridge is a little on the empty side
Nosher plays an actual cassette tape on the stereo
The empty kitchen
A whole life in boxes
A view of farm buildings in the valley
A Devon view, on the walk up to the village shop
A couple of cyclists stomp up the hill
The main village street
A view towards Dartmoor
Balloons folornly tied to a pole stay
Another Devon field
Three contrails over Chapel Park
Doug the Dog looks a bit sad in his box
Sis goes through some paperwork
One of Nosher's schoolboy pictures, from 1981
A convertible is a temporary skip at Okehampton
Sunset over the side field
Wispy clouds in the dusk
More paperwork sorting
Red sky at night
Roger at the bar
Matt and Sis in the Cobley
Roger's Grumpy Old Men's Club sign
Glasses hang from the top of the bar
Roger potters about
A yard of ale hangs from the ceiling
The Tom Cobley bogs
Nosher gets to be almost the last one in
The mean streets of Spreyton, by night
There's a frosty start the next day
Mike's old Beemer is back home for a bit
A view over Devon, and possibly Smeatharpe
A derelict café between Newcott and Marsh
The derelict café and tea rooms on the A303
The old café and tea rooms in the Blackdown Hills
More rural graffiti
Yellow and pink graffiti
Down on the M3 at Fleet Services
Traffic streams up and down on the M3
The link bridge has had a lime-green paint job
The cold and damp link bridge over the M3
The insanity of modern life
It's all a bit grim over the M3
