    How Beautiful Whiley!

    I am ashamed to say I've not been there yet - you've made me want to go for sure!

    You and your mum look like sisters! I would never have believed she was your mum. She is gorgeous - and so are you.

    Thanks for the lovely photos - the waterfall ones are marvellous.

    Aren't we lucky living here in Devon! [​IMG]

    Hi O2: I first saw Devon / Dartmoor when I was 19 and came down to do some Christmas lambing for some friends. Having been born and bred in Liverpool, you can imagine the impact it made on me here. I fell in love with the place and always had it in the back of my mind to come back - eventually managed to make the dream a reality in 2000!

    Always follow your dreams.

    Whiley - seeing those lambs brings back lots of happy memories. Thanks for the wonderful pics!

    Ah thank you loveducks!

    I had a lovely time!

    I was brought up in Basingstoke! When Nan and Grandad moved here, the rest of the family slowly followed and we ended up moving to Sidmouth in 2001, and then i moved to Exeter in 2005 [​IMG]

    I do adore it here, couldn't dream of living anywhere else really.

    People are wonderful too, such characters! So glad i got me a country bai born and bred :D

    Yeah my mum is beautiful.
    She is 46 i think, she had me when she was 24, only 2 years older than me so that would be *countts* yeah 46.

    She has no idea though. Its utterly frustrating because shes always put herself down over and over and its given her a bit of a complex. Naturally when i was brought it somewhat passed on, as she used to try and make sure i wasn't going to get picked on for any astetic [or however you spell it!] reason, and it sort of stuck.

    I'm a bit bitter about it, as it wouldnt be the first time people have assumed me as the 46 year old/mum. After the first time it happened i didn't leave the house for a week. >.<

    Anyway, nothing like lambies and bunnies to make you squeal like a child! Always works for me anyway.

    Am seriously considering this place for my wedding reception when the time to plan comes around!
