JollyDays Supported Holidays: Mid-Summer Delight with Colin, Derek, Faye and Pat

We spent our 2 week holiday on the South Coast in very comfortable accomodation just outside Dawlish.
At our camp site we were able to enjoy the crazy golf, indoor swimming pool (with a jaccuzi) and a very good standard of entertainment every night. The camp entertainments team were of a high quality and together with their performances we were also able to see a "Soul & Motown" group and a guest night with Jimmy Cricket.
As usual every night we were always the last to leave the dance floor when the music stopped at midnight !!!
In the first week away we spent a day at the races in Newton Abbott, none us being able to pick a winner, we also went to the Zoo in Paignton, visited the Donkey Sanctuary just outside Sidford and spent time enjoying the weather on the beach.
Our holiday included many good meals. We visited a number of local pubs, had a few BBQ's, a couple of Chinese meals and even experienced a Greek restaurant on a couple of occassions. Somehow we also managed to fit in the customery fish & chips, a few picnics and the compulsary cream teas !!!
During the holiday it was Karens birthday so everyone was able to enjoy a piece of her birthday cake and we all dressed up to go out to dinner in Dawlish that night.
The highlight of our second week was the talent show held on the Tuesday in the entertainments hall. Both Mark & John asked to take part in the show and their rendition of the ever popular Grease was well received by the audience who clapped throughout their performance.
Somehow, in the second week we managed to fit in more time on the beach, a trip out onto Dartmoor, a visit to the model village, a trip on a boat, a steam train ride and a Double Decker bus ride.
Our stay in Devon was a great success and it was a shame when the holiday came to an end. Everyone had a wonderful time and all talked about coming back again next year !!
