I drove around the car park twice but was unable to find a space, so Glyn got out and went for her appointment. I continued to drive around the three car parks near where I needed to be but was unable to find a space. I tried on the road outside, but there are only about three spaces that are not for residents only and they were all full.
I eventually found a space at the top end of the hospital, by a sign that warned me I'd be fined £70 if I did not buy a ticket, unfortunately there was no sign of a ticket machine.
Just then Glyn phoned to say she had seen the person she needed to see and was ready to be picked up. Just as well she hadn't gone on her own or she would have missed her appointment time altogether.
The frustration is, there is lots of green space in the grounds that could be converted to car parking as it has always been an issue here, but I don't suppose it ever will be converted, it just sits there and grows!
On a brighter note, we went to Teignmouth on Sunday to meet Glyn's Brother and the car park there was free on Sundays. Well done Teignmouth Council, we'll come there again.
