9th May: Day 10
Another beautiful day, so after breakfast (everything is so 'healthy' here - everything is multigrain this, organic that) we decided to walk a short local trail to stretch our legs after yesterday's drive. It was only about 5k through the woods and along 'Englishman's River' - naturally getting a few caches along the way!
Looking out for bears
Later on we got back into the car and drove a short way to the village of Coombs where in summer one of the attractions is
Unfortunately it's a bit too early in the season for them to have been put up there, but we saw them in the field behind.
So we had lunch instead. We shared a bun called a 'beesting' which, being full of cream and covered in toffee, restored our junkfood levels back to normal.
The store is wonderful and a proper little tourist-trap; it sells local groceries, speciality foods (it has a stand of English goods), quality toys and non-tat souvenirs. In the adjoining courtyard there are other small arts-and-crafts type shops; really nice to look around. The temperature was up to 17°C - practically scorchio!

Why does Ned look so cross in the last picture? Did you force him to eat that cake an gun-point? Is he turning into a Bear?
:)
It's all coming back to me now. Vancouver is the place where I discovered chocolate covered donuts!
I'm off to the west country tomorrow so will have to catch up when I get back.
He's looking cross because I made him eat his first course before he was allowed the cake!
HAHAHAHAHA!!!
