Summer breakfasts - alfresco

During the school holidays I've resorted to travelling early on my runs down to Exeter to see my mum, in a bid to stay safe and away from the long traffic delays encountered in these parts.  Luckily for me there are alternative routes that avoid the M5 motorway. Its also allowed me some peaceful morning time to eat breakfast outside at some lovely locations around my home town.

My favourite breakfast spot this summer has been around the Exe estuary, where the Exeter ship canal starts, with big views across the estuary to Topsham, Lympstone and Exmouth.

Turf Lock, Exeter - where the canal meets the sea.

We're hoping next year will mean alfresco breakfasts with other stunning views across canals and rivers.

Since August we've been busy getting down the detail of our boat build plans and sharing this with our boat builder, exciting times ahead, with hopefully more to blog about when the build starts end of Nov/beginning Dec.
