Nigel Goes to Start Point and Sara and Nell discuss Maps

Nell: It’s good to see Nigel out and about.

Me: Yes, isn’t it? And look at those beautiful views.

Nell: Where is that?

Me: Start Point. It’s on the other side.

Nell: What other side?

Me: The Big Sea side.

Nell: What are you talking about?

Me: I grew up in Torquay on the Big Sea side.

Nell: Is the sea bigger on that side?

Me: No, but it feels different on the coastal road towards Dartmouth. Sort of bigger.

Nell: Start Point isn’t on that map.

Me: It’s the furthest point on the bottom right hand side. There’s even a lighthouse.

Nell: The lighthouse isn’t on the map either.

Me: And the road that was damaged in the storms is the one running up the coast on the far right.

Nell: I’ve been along there.

Me: Yes, you have.

Nell: In an open top car with you and Alice.

Me: Yes, that was a fun holiday. The weather was so perfect we never had to put the roof up once.

Nell; The car was covered in leaves.

Me: It was.

Nell: Start Point needs to be on the map.

Me: Fine, I’m putting another one on. Is that better?

Nell: Yes, now you can see Start Point and the lighthouse.

Me: You can.

Nell: And Hope Cove. Where’s our island?

Me: I don’t know why it isn’t on there.

Nell: It should be there across from Bigbury and Bantham.

Me: I’m not putting a third map on, Nell.

Nell: At least Dartmoor is on there, I suppose.

Me: Yes.

Nell: Start Point is on both sides, by the way. The Big Sea Side and the other side.

Me: I know.

Nell: It’s disgraceful that our island isn’t on there. Find a better map next time, please.

Me: Yes. Sorry.
