Across The Great Divide

I had a trip across the great divide to Thorverton yesterday. I dropped in a The Exeter Inn and The Bell and talked to a few of the locals. Whatever can be said about Thorverton, and Silvertonians often tend to be a bit uncomplimentary about their neighbours over the river, it has to be said that Thorverton is not short of decent drinking establishments with a friendly clientele, many of whom seem to be very well informed about events and people over here. It was an enjoyable afternoon out.

When I boarded the bus to return to Silverton I was rather surprised to be asked by the driver if I could direct him to Broadlands as he had not done that part of the route before. You would have thought that Stagecoach might have given their drivers a better idea of what is after all a new route ut apparently not.
