Unexpected visit to Kwik Fit as our zipcar had a bump in the tyre wall.13:08:11
Fortunately they were - just - still open, and lived up to their name and were quite quick!13:08:48
13:32:56
...so we still made it to the Bridge Inn at Topsham.13:34:40
Quickly poke our nose in at this bar room, where we've yet to actually sit.13:34:42
Even the corridor is surprisingly attractive.13:34:52
13:40:16
As it was a busy day, they opened up the Malthouse which is normally saved for private functions etc - so fortunately we had a place to sit!13:46:30

I woke up in the night to go to the loo, and as it was a clear night I thought I would try out the astrophotography mode on my new phone - the first few attempts didn't really work.00:52:37

...eventually I figured out you ideally have to leave it absolutely still for minutes. I grew impatient after 30 seconds or so though, so still not really seeing the full potential here...
