I am trying to catch up on some computer stuff today, as I spent yesterday sorting boxes out, when not resting the leg in the horizontal.  So today it is computer time ... and I warn you now, you may feel a bit spammed, so apologies ahead of time, if so.

On Annemarie's last day with us I took her to Cockington Village.  If you just look at the photos it looks pure English and in the middle of nowhere.  Yes, it is pure, traditional English (not a re-build); but it is actually part of Torquay.  So about 4 miles drive from Mum & Dad's.

She wouldn't put her feet in ... I wonder why?

It's quite lovely and so green. I think it so wonderful how people overseas take the time to really enjoy their history. Here, not so much. I've never seen the Alamo and just live hours away from it. I've only been to Mexico once. We traveled a great deal while in Europe, but seldom in our own country.

What a lovely spot. I can just visualise that forge being in Rohan.

That looks so beautiful (and sunny!), strange to think of it being part of Torquay, though.

*waves* Everything's good at the moment - I've just done a building update post, and will try and get a more 'me' sort of one done soon as well. Sorry to see you were 'sent home' the other morning; I hope your foot is healing and feeling better after a few days' rest.

This is such a lovely place. Everything is so green, beautiful and soothing. And the 600-year-old tree is stunning.

Your pictures are wonderful like always.
