Well we are back home after a super break. above is a quick sketch of Lymstone a very quaint small village on the Ex estuary. As you can see the water comes right up to the houses. A high tide must be interesting.

On holiday we did plenty of walking, managing to walk in excess of three miles most days, now that we are home the plan is to keep that up. Yesterday and today the plan has worked and we have seen immature green woodpeckers, a roe deer and a buzzard take of from only 20 or 30 feet. Seeing it leap into the air and spread its wings from so close a view point gave us a super impression of this large birds power. Today we went to Polsden Lacey and saw hundreds, literally hundreds of butterflies.Tortoiseshell, Fritillary, Gate Keeper, Marbel White, Brimstone, Small White and the common Blue, we saw many more, but not those which I could identify. 

To cap it we walked five miles in brilliant sunshine, so now we are home with tired legs, but very happy Now the evening splan is a DVD probably a Foyles War. and then sleep; lovely sleep.
