In the sea
 |
| My February swim. The whole sea to myself at Putsborough beach |
In the garden
It finally stopped raining. At last we could cut the grass.
 |
| Paul strimmed it. |
 |
| And I raked it...exhausting. |
My end of the Devon bank has a splash of colour!
 |
| This daffodil was already there. |
 |
| Its quite a pretty double. |
 |
| Looks nice with the primulas we rescued from the skip. |
Paul successfully felled a number of overgrown hedgerow trees that would shade the garden
 |
| He burnt some twiggy bits but we are stacking the rest. We may install our logburner in the house. We've had it for years but never used it. |
 |
| The weather was warm enough to sit out in the sun to eat lunch and look at the progress so far. |
 |
| Chilli plugs arrived and are now growing nicely in little pots. |
 |
| Paul has been able to plant some of the specimens that moved house with us. Starting with some bamboo. |
Out and about
We visited Hartland.
 |
| There are amazing rock formations at Hartland Point. |
 |
| Lovely sea. |
A few days later we visited Hartland Abbey. They have lovely walks through the gardens down to the coast.
 |
| This cottage belongs to Hartland Abbey and was used in the filming of 'The Night Manager' |
 |
| This is the shore next to the cottage |
We made our march visit to the Eden project. We had a picnic in the Rainforest biome. Lovely and warm!. On the way back we called in at the Cobweb in Boscastle and met Harry for a drink.
 |
| We drove with the top down (wearing our matching furry hats). |
Surprise
 |
| Three horses appeared on the estate after a night of high winds. There was quite a lot of police activity to watch from the upstairs window. Eventually the horses were returned to their owner. |
Social Scene
We continue to enjoy having visitors. George and Louise came to stay for a night and then they caught the helicopter to Lundy Island. They were spending the week there with a group of people doing conservation work.
Bridge lessons are going well and on Friday afternoons Paul and I play at a very relaxed bridge club in Braunton. We also played in a charity teams competition which started with a champagne reception and lunch - very nice!
On Sunday our neighbours opposite invited a few of us over for drinks - very nice!
 |
| I made my 'Easter Special' to contribute to the nibbles - very sophisticated! |
Happy Easter!
