Watchful!


Recently, with trying to access a footpath,
 I had to pass through  a field of cows,
I even interrupted the above cow,
 right in the middle of feeding!
How inconsiderate of me!


They were forever watchful,
 while I walked to the otherside of the field to access the other gate




One even became braver.
I promptly shut the gate behind me
& continued with my walk.

The Post Office. . . .




Tintagel Post Office, with its slopping roofs. . . .



A small cornish  coastal town associated with King Arthur from centuries ago,
needless to say, this hotel was named after King Arthur & Camelot.

Puppy Sitting



A weekend away led me to the countryside of North Devon,
 spending time in a very quiet & tranquil  village setting, with a pub a short distance from the house.
 Perfect for an evening meal.


But, although it was a weekend away,
 we were taking care of an 11 week old puppy,
 a cocker spaniel/springer spaniel.  
 He was very adorable, could easily have taken him home,
 although I think Max,
my black labrador would have had something to say about that,
 if only he could talk!


The puppy was very content with simple things, such as the Ikea bag,
& even my handbag, which his sharp teeth started to chew.  
Not much damage though,
can be repaired quite adequately.
The experience certainly reminded me of when my dog was a pup. . . .


With a drive out on the Saturday,
we were able to see some stunning  views of the local countryside,
 besides being so close to the coast.



A real haven,
 a peaceful & quiet weekend with some exploring,
 an enjoyable mini break!

Images such as these cloud formations are very eye catching,

Castle to Mill




From the various views from Dunster Castle,
the descent down, took us on a walk to the Mill.

                                           



Butterflies attracted to much of the flora that was in full bloom. . . .


Lilies to Irise's. . . .


Getting closer. . . .



Winding pathways,
 beautiful flowering blooms on full display.
Even a bench for a rest. . . .


Finally reached the Mill,
only a small shop with not much to see,
 the walk well worth it though!
