They live in a small village on the edge of Dartmoor, an absolutely beautiful part of the country. While we were there we celebrated Gary's 40th birthday. I have to publicly thank my sister-in-law as she totally spoiled him. Cinnamon rolls for breakfast, birthday cake in the afternoon and Ben and Jerry ice cream for an evening treat.
If you know Gary at all, then you know he loves chocolate. What better gift could this American receive than chocolate covered oreos (along with a lot of other chocolate)!!
We spent a few hours of Gary's birthday letterboxing (which is like a treasure hunt) on Dartmoor. We walked for a while before finding the first clue, but once the older children had got the hang of it they were eager to continue to find more.At times the walking was hard, especially for the little ones. Deanna made a comment to me while trying to navigate her way over some rocks that "it wasn't a good idea to do this for Daddy's birthday!" But once she made it to the top her attitude changed and she had a lot more fun.
The temperature wasn't too cold but we decided to return to the house once the clouds descended and the rain arrived.
Dartmoor really is a beautiful part of God's wonderful creation.Michelle

Oh my goodness, what a STUNNING place. The Master Artist, hey?
So glad you got precious time in with your family, my friend.
Hope you're getting through the packing slowly but surely :)
