Bodmin ponies and foals.

Instead of using the main roads back from Cornwall during the week, we headed off onto the side roads of Bodmin Moor.


Collingford Reservoir.


Weather wasn't great, but I always think grey skies add to the atmosphere of the moor.



It was so cold, we bravely stayed out side of the car long enough to take the photo's you see.
Then left it to the local residents to enjoy their peace and quiet.

New meaning to the words." Ditching the caravan"

Driving on the Devon Express Way you never know exactly what you are going to come across.
The car pulling the caravan in front of us looks normal as it drives along.
Until the caravan started to wobble, and sway backwards and forwards across the road.



The driver, very lucky guy steered the whole thing into the ditch, about the same time as one of
the caravan's wheels left the road, ready to turn the whole thing over.


Very pleased to say the family and dog, ( happened to be a cavalier) in the car in front were
unharmed. The car took a battering and not sure if the caravan was able to travel any further
into Cornwall.

So sorry for the family, the main thing, no one was hurt.

If you do pass someone in distress on a busy road, SLOW DOWN...... speedy
drivers..........

Amie and I might be sitting in the car that has stopped to help parked on the hard
shoulder................

Bee, Bug and Squirrel

Good thing about living at Soggibottom,


you never know who is going to pass through, or over the gate.

Waterfalls in Devon

Please feel free to view the courtyard garden water feature..
Well not quite as we also have a pond....

Tiny pond, only for frogs...
Except we don't have frogs, because the Newts eat all the frog spawn...

We used to have two ponds, with carp and huge goldfish.. that we would sit beside and watch the fish for hours... except... we don't live there anymore....

Fish take time..
Like all that you are responsible for you should only give them the best.

We haven't the space. So sad, as we used to love the fish ponds. SO we have a Newt pond and a bubbly thing.... new.... to Soggibottom.

No fish, no FROGS... but we do have NEWTS... and a bubbly thing.....

Frank used to torment the frogs in Surrey any way!!!!

I might just add here that the Newts that have found their way to the Soggibottom wildlife pond are protected little devils and we can't do anything about them.

SUGGESTIONS?

Apart from snoring

AMIE SOTO BLOSSOM...................for everyone who asks, she is 11 years old.
