My picture of the day-Where's yours?

But sadly that maize growing is b*ggering the soil now too.

Late harvest, wet autumns, no time to reestablish cover before the winter comes = lots of run off - especially on those light soils..

All ends up in the rivers, hence the westerly half of Lyme Bay is often red with good Devonian topsoil

Fortunately his land was as flat as a flat pancake. But we digress...

Wistful moment..
A year ago, on the ferry, on the way to be thoroughly midged, and rained on in the hills -
- all the types of fun ,.

No Scottish holibobs just yet this year but maybe in the autumn..

If they'll let us filthy inglishers over the boarder

Dartmouth looking pretty, and pretty deserted, today. And a nice 80 miles there and back.

I love Dartmouth, we’ve been holidaying there for over 20 years and were there for last Christmas, I’ll really miss it this year.

Watching the sun go down somewhere behind the Derryveagh mountains. It was worth the ride to the top of a huge climb to watch this

Happy to meet a slow worm for the first time! Couldn't get a good picture - it had really beautiful markings.
I waited there until it was safely into the bank & away from traffic, before continuing.
