Smile please!

A nice cup of tea

Dartmoor is a national park with wild ponies and granite rocks or 'torres' dotted all around. It's a bit desolate, but fortunately at the end of the road is the little village of Widecombe (http://www.widecombe-in-the-moor.com/) with public toilets and tea shops. Who would have thought it - Spanish teenagers sipping English tea. And eating a local delicacy - a Devon Cream Tea. That is (apart from the cup of tea) a scone (a kind of dry cake) on which you put jam and clotted cream. Yummy!

Dartmoor

Hey, mum - here I am - up here. Can you see me?

Help, Mum! It's getting cold!

Now who wants me to keep them warm?

Boating

This is nice, isn't it? Nice and cosy, I mean.

Happy Birthday to You!

Yes, Maite, you are fifteen today. Please blow out the candles and let us eat your cake!

Well, this is me

And that's him

Tuesday Night

is Disco Night. Shake that booty!

Exeter Cathedral

We had to show you one photo of something famous!

Some mediaeval buildings in the town centre.

Here We Are

Tuesday afternoon and another trip by coach, this time to the nearby ancient cathedral city of Exeter (http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exeter). But Exeter doesn't just have very old buildings, it also has very new ones, like Primark, and Gap .... and we know which ones we prefer to visit!

Discovering Paignton

On our first afternoon we were taken on a tour of Paignton and ended up in Oldway Mansion. This is a large house, open to the public, which was built by the Singer family, famous for commercialising the first sewing machines.

There are some impressive paintings on the walls and ceilings.

New Friends

Getting to Know Each Other

It's Monday and our first day at school. We are still getting to know each other, inside the school and out. As you can see, the weather isn't perfect, but it's OK for the time being.

Now it really is time to eat our picnics and do our favourite hobby - talking to all our new friends.

Meet the Locals

This is better than watching Spanish TV!

Here are some of the creatures we saw during our visit to the National Marine Aquarium in Plymouth, the biggest in the UK.
