Susan, our B&B hostess was almost too much. The Alastair Sawday link meant she did the performance as it appears in the book. Breakfast was pure theatre as she made her entrances and exists through the sliding door between us and the kitchen catering to out needs. A host of tourists got off the Somerset Steam Railway and flooded little Watchet's lovely museum and coffee houses. The rain sent them indoors but we had to set off so Kaya could catch her bus connection from Minehead 10 miles away. The weather has become something of an issue again. The sky changed by the minute with black clouds sometimes just missing us and other times unleashing their contents. The path took a diversion inland at Blue Anchor. When we were able to look back we could see why - there had been a huge landslide. The walk into Minehead was along the beach but the tide was still too high to enjoy the hard sand so it was an uncomfortable pebble path for much of the way. Minehead still has it's huge Butlins which dominate the east side of the pretty town. We had coffee after which Kaya went off on the bus to Taunton to catch the Paddington train. I was sad to see her go and dragged my heels up to the hostel which I will use as a base for the first 3 days of the South West Coast Path. A large part of the evening was spent reading the Sunday Times in Wetherspoons. There has been so much rain that slugs are all over the pavements and it is cold - otherwise I'm fine!
