'bye bye'

oh dear. a sad morning. goodbye granny and nagayapa. we ran after the train for a little while, but couldn't catch up. I will add some more pics to your stay, mum and dad, from your pics mum - but for now I'll scoot on to more recent ones.

pastel night

sun slowly setting past 10pm after a steep walk in clovelly - a privately owned town (!).

I have just discoved mum's photos that she left here on disc, and will go back one day when the hours stretch out before me (that doesn't sound promising, does it, given that I am over a month behind on this blog..?) to add in her gems.

pebbly beach

a tired mum lying on the warm rocks. there is a gorgeous video that I'll add to this one day of J moooooing to the cows in the distance as we walked to this beach. (speaking of cows, today we were at the totnes agricultural show, and he just moooo'ed all day. and adrian's eyes shone as he walked among the cows.. I seem to have cow-boys all around me).

and another aside....the last words janu said as he drifted off to sleep tonight was shoo shoooes

MOT inspection

janu seems to gravitate toward anything with wheels. he regularly inspects the neighbours cars for rust, suspension, tyre pressure.

hartland II

we stayed in a perfect B&B on a working farm & walked and walked and walked. didn't even feel the water, even in mid-summer!

hartland pennisula I

we don't even have to leave devon to be swept away by scenes like this. . . the hartland pennisula, a north westerly tip of this huge county.
