The blue plaques around the town have information that brings the past alive.

A sociable weekend.
Last weekend we visited various friends who live further along the south coast. On Saturday we had a good catch-up and a tasty tea with friends who live in Lyme Regis in a wonderful former sea captain's house. We had a short walk on the cob, the harbour wall featured in Jane Austen's novel, "Persuasion" and in the film, 'The French Lieutenant's Woman' which is based on John Fowles' book of the same name.
We drove on to spend the night in Sidmouth, staying at the rather tired but very friendly and quirky Royal Glen Hotel. A plaque on our bedroom wall informed us that we were in the room where Victoria had slept as a vwey small child before becoming queen. (Sidmouth is swamped with plaques as this post will demonstrate!
We ate a very hearty breakfast on Sunday morning, so, in spite of doubtful weather we set off to walk beneath the cliffs towards C0nnaught Gardens. We dodged the waves but did catch a bit of sea spray. One or two people were soaked!

A bit of bad behaviour put on record!
We met up with the book group back along the coast in Seaton at a member's home for lunch. Jane Austen's 'Mansefield Park' was up for discussion which seemed very apt after visits to Lyme and Sidmouth!

What a wonderful mix of unusual buildings, great views and paths and parks to explore, with the Sea never far away!
ReplyDeleteThe hotel looks cosy with its slightly faded grandeur.
Sidmouth is a favourite place to visit. We had not stayed at this hotel before but shall certainly do so again as the staff were very friendly and welcoming. And, of course, it is always good to catch up with old friends!
DeleteClassic England. To me! I love the hotel pics and I'm sure I'd love wandering round there. All those plaques, the waves. Just lovely
ReplyDeleteSidmouth is a small, friendly place,. Classic England, as you say. (It is named as the town with the highest number of ninety year olds!) I'm sure you would enjoy it.
DeleteHistory at every turn, and weather to blow away the cobwebs.
ReplyDeleteExactly!
DeleteI'm always glad to come across such plaques on my walks, giving context to the landscape and buildings I might see. What wonderful views and a walk by the sea is a good way to clear the brain.
ReplyDeleteSmall town walking and a blow by the sea is a good combination. Not to mention the addition of a bit of nosey blue plaque reading!
DeleteWhat an interesting place! We missed seeing that area when we were in Wales and Cornwall, and I am sad about that.
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely corner of England. Perhaps on your next visit?!
