Fingle Bridge!!!

So we took a trip to a place called Fingle Bridge. This is where Ben and i had our very first cream tea in the UK. And we have to say that it was so good we went and got another one!
Meet Mandy & Alex Newby. They are our new friends! Friends who dont work at the Diggers Rest I know!!!!
Here we are demolishing our cream tea (without the tea). We didnt do it the Devon way though. Aparently the Devon way is Clotted cream first, then the jam. It just doesnt make sence.
Ben liked this little waterfall in the car park.
Here it is, Fingle Bridge!
Once we crossed the bridge we took a photo of the Fingle Bridge Inn where we had our cream teas.
Meet Irela! She is Mandy & Alex's little girl who is almost 8 months old. When we got to the Diggers she was about 3 and a half months. We have watched her grow, Smile, Crawl (just recently), clap, Ben got her to poke her tongue out and giggle! Ben was trying out his driving skills, 4 wheel driving with the buggy on rough surfaces. He did well.
A pic of the 4 of us walking along the Dartmore Ranges. It was just like walking through the ottways.
And again, en being adventurous. He had to feel the water about 10 times and we were hopeing to give you something funny to look at with him falling in, but it didnt happen.
Very lovely place and when we got back to the pub and told some of the locals where we had been, a couple told us that thats where they started going out. They had written there initials on a tree andaparently they are still there. Of course we didnt know this at the time so we didnt look for it.
