We're back from a lovely week in Devon! It was wonderful! So peaceful and relaxing, tucked away in a little village by the coast (the village i grew up in). We walked, explored the lanes and the beaches, went rockpooling, visited Pennywell Farm, Plymouth, Totnes and caught up with special friends.
We have literally hundreds of photos, but don't worry, I'm not going to inflict them all on the blog! Here are a few highlights though -
Building sandcastles, rockpooling and collecting shells on Challaborough beach -

| Hannah absolutely loved them and learned all the songs and dances from their show! |
We spent a day with my oldest friend and his family. He was taking care of a neighbouring small holding so Hannah helped him and his children feeding the Ostrich, Emus, Alpacas, Ducks and Chickens.
It was so good to catch up with him and his lovely wife, and for Hannah to spend time with the children (who are equally lovely). It was a really great day.

Burgh Island - Bigbury On Sea
 |
| Burgh Island, at low tide you can walk across the sand from Bigbury, at high tide it's cut off and you have to ride the sea tractor! |
 |
| Bigbury has more rockpools for paddling in at low tide, |

On our last morning I walked along the beach and watched the sun break through the Devon mist turning the whole beach silver - it was breathtaking.
After all the years I've been away from here, my heart is still in Devon, in this village and on these beaches - I can't wait to go back again!
