So glad you came off the beaten track and up the steep hill from Sticklepath (the name Sticklepath comes from the Anglo-Saxon ‘staecle’, steep) to Belstone to find sustenance in my wife’s Old School Tearoom (all tearooms should still be open at 5.20pm, why do so many close at 4pm?) – otherwise I would never have met you and heard about your inspiring journey.

Sorry to hear about your experiences in Exeter – smells and bells without the common touch? But I’m sure Dartmoor made up for it….

Who’s about to have their head chopped off?

It’s a magnificent cathedral at Exeter, I lived in Exmouth in the mid 1970’s and often visited, but sorry to hear that your welcome was unannounced rather than celebrated.
Good to hear that your cello recital/meditation was well received though and that after all was the purpose and focal point for you being there.
Well done again for your intrepid cycling.

Wow. You recognize the place with all the tea cozies? Maybe everyone recognizes the pony too? And then there’s the scene of violence set in stone (sandstone or?) for all eternity of the man who is about to lose his head. Sounds like the best of times and the worst. Onward!!

I think I recognise the place in N Dartmoor where you got tea even at 5.20pm.
The tea – cosies gave it away.

I’m so sorry to hear you felt unloved in Exeter…. but recovered enough during your Meditation to feel a bit better. Good for you succeeding with such a cycling challenge on Dartmoor. Good luck as you continue to Truro.
