Welcome to family, friends and visitors. Here you will find interesting (hopefully) pictures of my part of the world, news of our household and probably, long ramblings about anything that catches my interest.

Sunny Sunday.

We had plenty of sunshine today but had to put our plans for a walk by the sea on hold as Peter's foot is playing up and he needs to rest it before work tomorrow. While we had a lie in listening to the Archers (shocking events), a pair of sparrows were investigating the hole in the wall by our bedroom window. I think all the birds were enjoying this welcome sunny spell as there were sounds of bird song all through the valley. I got on with more garden jobs including brushing up leaves on the front patio (boring) and weeding and leaf clearing up by the scree garden, somehow much more satisfying.
Last night we had some heavy hail showers and piles of hail lay in the shady parts of the garden. The Link Road was closed at the Barnstaple end this morning due to the black ice and had to closed again in the afternoon as more people spun off the road up by Tiverton. The week's forecast is for warmer and wetter weather.
