Preparing for the Big Day

Friday 23rd April 2010 well, it was all systems go, the Boltoners had arrived in the night, I'd slept in the 'Wally' the Van, and most, although not all had arrived in the area... Everyone ( around 20 or so) met for Breakfast/Brunch at Alfresco's http://www.cafealfresco.co.uk/ in Dartmouth where Hayley used to work..a big table had been reserved, along with various other tables and stools surrounding it - enjoyable chaos followed with various dogs appearring form all over the place, and popping up between your legs when you were least expecting it... Then many of us wandered through Dartmouth and up to Dartmouth Castle http://www.theheritagetrail.co.uk/castles/dartmouth%20castle.htm , which we quickly bypassed as Bella the dog decided to wander into the kitchens to see if there was any spare grub lying around !! much to Zoe's embarrassment !! We carried on to Castle Cove, which as can be seen was a spectacular,sheltered cove, where our group were the only ones present, on what had become a quite warm,sunny day (for April !) http://www.westcountrywalks.com/dartmoor-swdevon/sdartmoor/dartmouthcastle/dartmouthcastle-01.php Then most of the wedding party returned to the other side of the river, as I prepared for the next part of the day....
