In and around North Devon/Somerset.

Somerset was a bit wet so we went North West.





Stopped on Exmoor to have a look at the old engine house.









Left my camera in the car at Lynton but the moment was saved by some lovely people, one of which, Alison, promptly joined GC to send me some pictures

Big thanks to Alison & family.



The next day saw a visit to Arlington Court, never mind the big house, heres some of the walled garden.





The Stable Block, which houses the Carriage collection.

See that Eel in the Herons Beak on the top, Zig fixed that.



This Granary was moved from another property that burnt down.

 

Nice photos Ziggy, it's a long time since I was at Lynton/Lynmouth but have great memories. Lovely part of the country.

 

The Freelander loved the 1 in 4 hills, Willow & I had to push on the dashboard to help it up them Not many driving situations make me break out in a sweat

 

Pics are stored in several locations Willow was feeling the cold wind despite the new wooly pully.

Good news about the new Harry book I just got "Fifty Plants that changed the course of history" will put a review up when i've read it.

 

Thanks for the fab pics Zig...all the places i'd love to go...maybe one day....
Love Willows coat....you've 2 lovely girls Zig,just like their dear old dad

 

What a beautiful area.

 

Didn't come from a shop in Lynton by any chance? (that's where Mrs Scrungee's one with a hood came from, another was from Rainbow's End in Swanage).

 

Didn't stop to shop in Lynton Scrunge, it was getting on & we hadn't sorted out a b&b by then.

Got it in Glastonbury last week, amazing what Dad's end up buying when we were meant to be shopping for a prom dress

Was the shop in Swanage a double one with only one front door open?

 

My daughter's cost £250 + shoes + bag + hairdo/etc. + limo hire + prom ticket + photos ........

That's the one.

 

Lovely pictures Ziggy.

Way back when I nearly burnt my brakes out going down there in a heavy old Triumph 2000. I had to pull over to let them cool off and held everyone up in the process. Embarrassing!

 

Use the engine, not just the brakes

Got a few things from that shop in Swanage Scrunge, Willow says my new shirt is pink, I thought it was purple

 

Tie-dye?

Shame you didn't have time for shopping in Lynton, there's 1 charity shop, 2 antique junk shops, the 'outdoor' shop (with the Weirdfish stuff in the window) is reasonably priced and they also sell a few bits of fishing stuff - ideal for some emergency hooks & frozen bait (and really cheap walking boot insoles). But if I only stop at one place it's got to be the community 2nd hand bookshop at the side of the Town Hall - had loads of bargain stuff from there. And don't miss the tossing coins into the hat (might be a bucket now) at the Community Hospital.

 

No, just pink.

Will have a look next time i'm there

 

I did!
