The sun and a clear bright blue day. Here are our red fields of Devon..... with Dartmoor in the background.
Living where we do, Dartmoor is always in the background if you can climb a hill... Devon is a very hilly county. You need some puff to walk around here, not a place to live for the faint hearted.
After all the rain we've had down in the South West of England, the first of May , it's MAY DAY, and it's a bright clear rain free day...
This is our favourite dog walking beach. Today, littered with the remnants of the storms.
There must have been something good to eat out there or the gulls wouldn't have bothered. Fish and Chips aren't their staple diet normally. They tend to show off for all the tourist that visit.
Apart from the shell fish washed ashore there might have been a tasty shoal of fish close by.
The reason why this little boat was so close to the shore line. Braver than us !
The currents around here aren't very gracious, you have to respect the sea. No matter where you are in the world. The Devon Coastline can be a downfall if you don't know what your doing or where you are.
When the tide is coming in, best to make for higher ground. On this beach there is a nature reserve on one side the beach. The best of both worlds.
Dogs have to be on a lead which is only right, so much wild life, it's a shame to disturb other visitors.
Think of how many miles these guys have travelled, it's a wise member of their family who brought them here, it's reasonably safe.
She is innocent I promise you ........
Just luvs ducks.

She did eat a bee last year, but she was only a pup, so she was forgiven. Here are a couple of bee's, on one of our bee boxes this afternoon. .We have so many bee boxes around. We need bee's.
With luck, because of the bee's we might get more than one apple from our apple tree this year...
Amie Soto Blossom and Mew are right under the apple blossom.. May day is about the beauty of Spring and the Summer to come..........pink wasn't Amie's colour...
So many flowers are starting to bloom in our garden, they needed water, so I can't moan about the water and rain.. Hey blogger seems your getting better too..

The cottage has been so very busy over the last few weeks, sincere sorry for not blogging properly and visiting.. ....
