The joys of no phone signal, no internet connection

After looking at a map, our destination was only a few miles down the road. No phone signal, no Internet connection, deep in a Devon valley a few miles away from glorious views over Plymouth Sound. Forget the grey sky, the sun was shining when we set out.


It was there somewhere, although there was a lots of talk about falling bits of space debris on Friday.


 If you really need a chill out weekend in late September, maybe this is the place..


 A log cabin in a wooded area near Wembury in South Devon.


 We know a certain pup that loved the whole weekend.


 I'm sure she's ready to do the whole thing again.


Loads of coastal walks.


 Rock pools,


to explore.


 The company of Jason and Karina.


We even found a Devon Long House that has been turned into a pub.


As the pub was called The Mussel, it was only right we sampled a few.


The trouble with days when your enjoying yourself, they are over far too quickly.


If you've ever driven down our back country Devon lanes and wondered why they aren't cut back, they do cut them at the end of the season..If your really lucky, you can get stuck in your car behind one of the hedge cutters while it cuts the hedges.
Long, windy narrow roads that go on for miles without a passing point, all at the speed of walking pace. Now that really is the way to travel down Devon lanes. 

Many thanks to Karina and Jason for inviting us, we had a great time.


Frank was cottage keeper for a few days, a good job of it he made too.


Many thanks for all your thoughtful comments on Soggibottom and Freya's The Cat Flap Cavalier blog.
I don't always have the chance to thank everyone, THANK YOU, we love to read every comment..

Freya has more photo's of her week over at, THE CATFLAP CAVALIER.
 As soon as she's old enough, she'll be answering her own post !
