Dartmoor Pool
We have so many views of Dartmoor, you might get bored with them after a while. It was a beautiful day up there yesterday far too good not to share.

Dartmoor Granite Railway
I never knew that the old Dartmoor quarry that Amie loves to walk around supplied granite for London Bridge and part of the British Museum. The above photo shows what is left of the granite railway that took the granite down to Teignmouth.
Dartmoor is about 16 miles away from us.
Feel really lucky that we live where we do. How many times have I said that?
To know more about the quarry and moor click onto Dartmoor Walks in the favorite list.

Onions and Sunday Church Bells
Last year I wore gloves and a mask to do this job. This year I didn't, I stood at the sink and peeled them underwater. It worked. Except I can still smell the smell of onions in the kitchen.
The black bits floating around are peppers, honestly!
Lazy start to Sunday mornings with the church bells, lots of coffee and watching the world go by while sitting in the window seat.

Fluffs has been on Google
It's an Elephant Hawk Moth.
In case your wondering.
I was put it back where I found it, under the bamboo in the garden, quite happy to eat away at fallen rose petals from the overhead rose.
Not sure if Frank was that happy as it happens to be his favorite hiding place.

Over Dartmoor from the Express Way
We had a change from the Devon Express way today. We came back from Cornwall and went over Dartmoor instead. Are the roads getting smaller, or is it us?

Vet's - just like a walk in the park
As you see Amie is so much better.
She went to the vet for her check-up, and has ten days of pills to finish.
They are bearable if they are wrapped inside half a slice ham.
She was well enough to make a visit to Karina's yesterday.
Karina's cat's kept an eye on her.

To Amie's Fan Club
Thanks to everyone for Amie's get well wishes.
She is very sleepy, but has managed to eat her tea, then go back to sleep with her head in her empty food dish.....Snoring loudly.......We have moved her to one of her favorite places, on a sheepskin infront of the fire. To sleep off the vet visit and her tea.

Narrow Roads of Devon
Narrow roads are fine.
The bus was bigger than us.
We could only move over into the sea anyway.
Moral..... Know your place, especially if it's bigger than you.

Widdicombe Fair Day today
But it's really muddy and we have been there before in the rain. So decided to pass. Have a look at the snaps we took at Teignmouth instead.

Waiting
We walked around Teignmouth yesterday, Amie didn't go, it was raining and we thought she would be better off snoring in the warm. But I had a really strange conversation with a lady in a shop about gardens, the weather and how to plant leeks.
I was talking for ages and Tony and friend were left outside. My good deed for the day as the owner now knows how to plant her LEEKS.....

Walk in the rain 5th September
Amie loves to walk along Paignton Sea Front..
It's not far from home and if it rains there are beach shelters along the route. Today we walked quite happily along the sea front until the weather changed. Have a look yourself.
