Glorious Devon

Another photo of where I lived as a child. Quite beautiful.

Blossom

The tree opposite our Post Office is a picture right now. It is laden with blossom. Sadly, this is very transient. A strong wind and another few weeks and it will all be gone.

Devon

In my childhood and youth I grew up in South Devon, where my ancestors lived. I moved away for work, although I return most years. My brother still lives there.

Grass cutting

In shirt sleeves, I cut my front lawn earlier. After lunch, I expect to cut the rear lawn. For February, it is extremely mild. It feels like a late spring day! These are the first cuts this year.

Mild

It is already 16.9 degrees C in parts of Scotland and it feels spring-like here in East Anglia. The photo shows "our" windmill with the blue sky behind.

Landwade Church

Yesterday, on our walk, we went past Landwade Church. This is a very isolated church which, at this time of year, is surrounded by snowdrops.

Windmill

This morning, we did a walk at nearby Landwade and saw no-one at all! My wife took this picture of "our" windmill at a distance of about 3.5km. It is right next to our home.
