This is the road to Southpool. We'll see Salcombe at the end of the road. This is the biggest junction on the tidal road. If you have a large screen you can click on the photo for a more detailed view. This is the end of the tidal road to Mill Bay.

there so that I could do a post on my blog about the straw animals traditionally placed on thatched roofs The huge cover over the pub is now gone as the roof has been replaced and the building is now weatherproof thatched section of the pub has it's new thatch in place and the later part of the building has it's slate roof

March 2021- I thought I would use this opportunity to take the tidal road to Goodshelter because the I half regretted it because the road is very narrow, very steep in parts, very twisted with sharp right Even on a good day Goodshelter is a hamlet designed for boats not cars. I met it at a wider bit but the bulge in the road was on my side and it was a foot drop into black mud This is Goodshelter and that is the road in the foreground, coming down the hill on the left and going

The spiders legs plummet down the hill in several directions to reach the water and all roads lead back Below, the screen is also 15th Century – the groining and canopy were beautifully restored in 1954-55 In May 1644 the scope of the ordinance was widened to include representations of angels, rood lofts, holy water stoups, and images in stone, wood and glass and on plate. Psalm 100 verses 4 to 5, represented on this beautiful painted screen.

I went up to investigate the road closure, this is the reason I am using phone photos and a borrowed Our village is small and this Road Closed sign is about a three minute walk from our house, actually You can see how narrow it is and this is a main road posing as a country lane. The good news was that they reckoned the road would re-open tomorrow night two days earlier than expected This is a natural spring at the side of the road, below, which I had never even seen before, the road

November 2020- If I believed in pots of gold at the end of the rainbow I would be moved on opening the curtains this morning to see this sight. But I don't think you need to believe in superstition to marvel at a rainbow. The facts behind the rainbow are awe inspiring enough. The most awe inspiring fact about a rainbow to me is that no two people are looking at the same rainbow. When I first realised that it blew my mind. Even the person standing next to you is seeing a different rainbow to the one you see. The refracted coloured light is from individual drops of water in an incredibly thin arched line one water droplet thick, perfectly aligned at the correct angle between the sun and your eye, so the person next to you is seeing the refracted light from different drops of water. But even more amazingly those drops of water are constantly falling and being replaced by others which also line up perfectly giving the impression of a stable unmoving image. Why is it an arc shape? Because all along that arc the water droplets achieve the correct angle to refract the light, outside of that arc shape they don't achieve the correct angle between the sun and your eye. Because we see the rainbow from the ground it appears as an arc. If you ever get to see a rainbow from a plane it is circular. So more of a rainwheel than a rainbow. The French word for rainbow is "arch in the sky" "arc en ciel". In looking up the word in other languages I liked the Finnish word Sateenkaari literally translated as rain arc. The Italians call it a lightning bow "arcobaleno" associating it with stormy weather. In Greek mythology Iris is the personification of the rainbow linking humanity to the Gods. It's apt then that we have an iris in our eye which controls the amount of light we see.

Bluebells and wild Garlic.

The roof of the bandstand in Victoria Park, recently restored. Classic Dartmouth view. Below is the main road out of Kingswear. The carved rood screen dates from the 15th century.

which means you are looking at the road and not the village. it came as something of a surprise that it even had a church which is set back and raised above the road In the porch is a very good example of the head of a Spurrell’s type of cross. Although the cross looks quite old and weather beaten, it is still in very good condition. Granite ashlar with low pitched hipped slate roof with wide bracketed eaves.

I get the roots and fruits but brutes? It beggars belief that the roof has been covered in solar panels while the concrete structure underneath

But there was a good reason for this. It's a win win for food companies who can charge a 50% premium by separating natural foods into their Here's a good game. Good old Delia, she's at it with the puns again. Proper Mushy peas are angel food.
