Just had to run my daughter into work at the local nursing home in our village minus 9 here could'nt let her walk.
Were not going in that are we she said why can't we go in the Range Rover.
Its Christmas day i want to drive my Maserati end of.
Drop her off thought its nice and quite and i want to get her warmed up nicely lets go and visit the Don.
That is the old Victorian Pier at Clevedon known to the locals as The Don and she looked mighty fine on a winters morn with the tide in and like a mill pond out there.
Have a great christmas all.
Phil.

[Andrea]

Going to visit the Don today. We go every Boxing Day - don't ask!! Not seen it in the snow - will be a first!

 

[Andyk]

Have a good time Andrea.....Snow on the Don is a rare sight.

 

[GransportFan1]

what is the Don?

 

[philw696]

Adam,
The Don is the famous Clevedon Pier in a lovelly old North Somerset coastal town.
Check her out on google images no where near milf or clunge my friend.
Opposite is an Italian resturant which was very good the last time i was there.
Phil.

 

[GransportFan1]

oh yes no i see it, looks a very nice place, an Italian restaurant opposite, that is a reason to go there then.

 

[philw696]

Yes its a very nice place Adam and only 5 miles up the road from the village i live in so its a nice little run out to give my 4200 a blast.
Stretched her legs coming back from Gloucester today.
Phil.

 

[Andyk]

Italian....hmmmm...now there's an idea to get away from all this Christmas food.

 

[philw696]

Andy if we could guarntee we could blag some parking spaces by the pier would be a good place for a south west meet with a lovelly backdrop.
Nice to have a few of our motors there for people to take a look at.
Phil.

 

[Andrea]

The Don - here you go...

 

[philw696]

Good picture Andrea did you get that today?
Phil.

 

[Andrea]

ooh i wish Phil, no it's care of google. She was shut today due to snow on the boards. Was very cold and icey - a run was on through the town in aid of HFH's so people everywhere .... managed our lunch at the moon & sixpence - only place ever open on Boxing Day. (really love the little cafe Scarletts next door - usually make a summer/spring visit with the boys to go crabbing etc on the slipway)

 

[philw696]

Now your telling everyone what a nice place it is they will all want to go.
It realy is a nice place have spent a few summer evenings up on the balcony at the Moon and Sixpence watching the sunset over Wales.

I know... have tried to move this way for a while, never found quite the right house with a view! nice to see an old fashioned victorian sea side... love the hill road area shops... - you are lucky!

 

[philw696]

Yeah i think we are lucky here but i think the whole of the uk has many hidden little gems.
When you have 5 mins check out regencystages.com a special stage rally for next year sponsored by another pier owner.
See what you think.
