Chuffy, following your question a few days ago, no I am not visiting Exeter any time soon. I might have visited Torquay (again 
) and passed through Exeter on the way, but perhaps not.

Hello all! Just waiting for some pics to upload to photobucket...
*wait*
Oh, while we're waiting, anyone want a mini chocolate coated donut? O bought a box to take to a friends house last night, but since said friend had made a cheesecake, and we also had a large range of French cheese and olives, we didn't manage to finish all the dounuts.
What a great day we had on Saturday! Even if I was suffering a little from "lives-on-a-flood-plain-and-isn't-used-to-hills-syndrome". The tea and cakes were excellent (as was the home cooked supper!), and "I like to torment my cat with a walnut" was possibly the best line of the day....
Mind you, I'm going to write a snotty email to National Express, whose high quality staff saw me start my trip back locked in the guards van with my bike, and when I got back to York, ignored me for long enough for me to start to fear my bike would be travelling onto Newcastle without me. *grumble grumble, it was never like this with GNER*
Right, let's see if those pics are uploaded...

Right, pics ahoy...
First of all we had a nice ride about. Due to having a brain like a sieve, I totally forgot to get my camera out to record our morning tea and cake, but very good it was. As already mentioned, I had c*ff** and walnut cake, and very nice it was too. The lady in the cafe wanted to know what my helmet camera was for, I wonder if she thought I was a very unsubtle spy for a Tea Shop Guide Book...
Anyway, on we went, and then tdr1inka got a visit from the P fairy...
Here he is, getting his repair kit out, while TheDoctor examines his small pump...
P******* fixed, we sallied onward once more, towards Lunch. The waiter took one look at us and decided we needed to sit next to the wine rack....
One very nice penne Carbonara later, and realising we needed to crack on to get to the zoo, we departed and headed for Chez Doctor, where the chaps got changed and we all bundled into the car and headed off to Whipsnade. As it was elephant tea time, they were inside in their little (big) house, so the light was limited, but here is the proof that we really truely did see a baby heffalump...
It was much hairier than I expected - although some of the fuzz on its back is not hair, but hay - it kept standing under the manger while it's Mum pulled the hay out, so it had got a sort of hay toupee.
And then outside, we found an elephant we could more easily be pictured with
While at Whipsnade, we also seeded some cheetahs and some lions and some tigers and some wolveses and some g'raffes and some chimps and a wallaby with a baby wallalalalalby in its pocketses.
And then we went back to Chez Doctor for a delicious, if slightly rushed, dinner before tdr1nka and I were decanted back onto our trains. And we presented TheDoctor with something for his new bike, but I didn't get a pic of it - perhaps tdr1nka can post the one he took?
All in all, a very lovely day out! May it be repeated...

I say, tdr1inka assumes the position very well. I also see the Doc is wondering which end to insert first!

The Doc & I did worry that you might be travelling all the way to York in the guards van!! What poo! I'm writing to National Express too to suggest that they give passengers with a booked bike a seat reservation in a car near the guards van. When I arrived at St. Evevenage that morning I had to run the length of the train, cleats a clattering to shouts of 'hurry up!', in order to collect my bike, kinda offsets relaxing on the train rather!
