Devon like many of our counties here in England has beautiful scenery, and I love it when we rent a place that gives us gorgeous views of coast and tidal estuaries, complete with sailing boats.With an eye for color I enjoy the beautiful sunsets and the effect of the rolling mist on the hills in the early morning light. My husband managed to get some good hours of walking on the coastal path whilst I admired the views in their many wonderful shades of light and dark.
Of course we enjoyed the Cornish food too, and had the opportunity to dine at quaint inns and part take of the lovely fresh fish caught locally. The crab was gorgeous, the cream scones glorious and the Devon fudge made with clotted cream was to die for.
We saw very pretty cottages centuries old with thatched roofs, churches with magnificent Norman and Gothic architecture, attended an Elizabethan market and took tours of the local art galleries.
We celebrated our wedding anniversary whilst on holiday and my DH bought me a beautiful handmade Cornish necklace, so you could say that we had a truly wonderful time.
Now we have returned home we need to get back into our regular routine. Michael returns to his duties tomorrow and I am longing to get back in my stamp room and create!
