A Trip Down to Minehead and The RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution)
So after A Trip Up the Malvern Hills in Worcestershire the last dinner we had before heading down to Minehead was a lovely venison burger with potatoe wedges and some mixed vegetables (kinda like ratatouille).
This is the room I was staying in, can you see me in the mirror 
It used to be my bedroom originally when we first moved into the house, then when I came back after graduating I switched to the back bedroom (which is larger) to allow for my computer, TV and so on. It was good to be back there, coincidentally my Mom has sold the house now and is looking for a new smaller place.
You might remember Minehead from my previous posts(Memories of Minehead, Part I, Part II & Part III) , it's a small coastal town on the Western coast of England in the county of Somerset (it's just South of Bristol). Sadly the weather was pretty grey and it drizzled most of the time, there was no sunset to speak of so I didn't take so many pictures this time.
We did manage a fantastic sinful lunch in the sun though before the rain and wind blew us back into the house for a cup of tea. Check this out....baked Camembert with freshly baked crusty bread....yum! Served with pickles (beetroot, onions and onion jam) and copious amounts of wine!
My Mom and her sister Jean.
We had a walk down the seafront and checked out Minehead lifeboat station.
The RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution) is a fantastic charity organization in Britain that has been around since 1824. All of the lifeboat men that rescue people at sea volunteers! All of the boats and gear are bought from donations!
You can check out the official website here:
It's a very interesting place with a lot of history attached, I really loved this painting they had in the lifeboat house.
More soon!

The venison burger comes without a bun?
I like your bedroom, very quaint, very comfortable.
The bedroom where you spent your youth in feels the most like "home", IMHO.
Cheers!

Very interesting looking bread. Never heard of onion jam before this.
Nice cosy little room
Should be great especially when the weather is similar to these few days in KL.
That painting is real nice and it does look a bit similar to a scene in The Guardian.

TNH: Yah, my Mom loves the oldskool furniture.
Huai Bin: Technically yeah it's just a patty, I did tell my Mom you can't call it a burger without the bun. Agree, although I wasn't there for my childhood, mostly early 20's in this particular house, and then not that much time as I was studying/working away.
Nicholas Leong: It is possible, but not recommended
moons: It's just normal crusty french loaf. Would love some now though..
Xander: Yah absolutely delicious!
gary: Pics can be deceptive
gazard7: Good isn't it.
