Things I'm gonna miss

Posted by Milly on 30 Sep 05

I've moved to Birmingham to take on a new role, so here are some of the things I'm going to Miss about Devon;

  • Pasties for breakfast
  • Pasties for lunch
  • Chips on the beach
  • Seagulls
  • Chasing seagulls trying to eat my chips on the beach
  • The drinks prices in Exeter
  • The old man pub quiz on a Wednesday night , particularly being told every week by the landlord that young people need to read more books.
  • My 2 office-mates who've been here for more than 40 years between them and are like my mums at work
  • Being able to watch people wandering up and down Crediton High Street, then getting their potted life histories from my office-mates
  • Cream Teas
  • Jumping on sandcastles
  • Impromptu parties/bbqs in the garden which usually result in getting shouted at by the neighbours
  • Having lots of free cough sweets (not very glamorous but useful!)
  • The beautiful countryside
  • Cider. Devon cider is better than Somerset cider. Fact.

Maybe I'll just have to set up a mock beach in my new place in and catch some seagulls to take with me. That might be a bit wrong though. Best to stick with a big barrel of cider.
