My New Home

You may have read that the long term accommodation I had arranged fell through the day I arrived in Lyme Regis and so I had to seek some temporary digs whilst I renewed my search for a place I would feel comfortable for the next 9 months.

Gemma, Kaylee and Eyvonne from the B.B.A. set about making lots of phone calls to try and find me somewhere and an advert was put up on the Lyme Regis Sailing Club website. The calls started to come in and Steve & Sue Jones in Uplyme suggested I come to see the property they were thinking of renting
After finishing my first week at the B.B.A I set out on Anneka up the steep hills leading to the village of Uplyme which nestles next to Lyme Regis. Steve & Sue live on top of a hill fed by a winding driveway and next to their house is a cabin which started out life as stables. They had converted it to live in whilst they built their own house next door and I immediately liked the place. Its basic but warm, dry and comfortable so we agreed a price and I have just spent my first night here. I will be adding a few more things to make it feel more like my home when I get the chance.









The cycle to the B.B.A take ten minutes (although the cycle back takes about double that) and despite that I have been late four times in the last week which is not like me. Hopefully now that I am settled and my bags are un-packed (the first time since before I went cycling in N. America) I will be more organised.
