This week was half term, which would be more relevant if I had actually found a teaching job by now (okay, I know this is getting tiresome - I will stop going on about it!) but for little Z it means she does not have to go to school this week. PP had also booked the week off and so we all went off to Brixham in Devon for 5 days. We had collected our tokens in the Sun newspaper and booked our holiday online (a privilege allowed only to those who have been on a Sun Holiday before as we have). It cost us £9.50 each and then £10 for linen & services. So, for less than £50 we got to stay at Pontins' Wall Park Holiday Village in Brixham for 4 nights. It was great. The accommodation was a little on the small size and PP and I had to sleep on a sofa bed, which was not all that comfortable, but we had loads of great days out and spent some quality time together as a family. The best day out was undoubtably our trip to Dartmouth. We travelled by steam train from Paignton to Kingswear then took the passenger ferry across to Dartmouth where we then took a lovely walk for just over a mile to Dartmouth Castle. Dartmouth was really beautiful. I would love to go back there and spend some more time looking around, but have been warned that it is better explored on foot rather than by car.
So, a fantastic week was had by all, particularly the credit card company, who will probably have benefitted most from our day trips and visits to various tack-filled souvenir shops! I would definitely recommend collecting the tokens and trying out one of these holidays.
