Saturday - 21st JulyWe decided to stay an extra day and go to the Ilfracombe Country Races, held at the racetrack just outside of town. We arrived early to get a good position. The first race was delayed somewhat because the horse float ran out of fuel. The crowds arrived, many in their fashion finery and the bookies were doing a great trade. The weather was excellent and we really enjoyed ourselves. After watching the presentations to the winners of the races, fashions on the field and the various raffles, of which our park neighbours won two prizes including an expensive pearl, we headed home somewhat down in the financial department. We arrived back at the park in time for happy hour.
