Whilst wandering around Tiverton, I spotted a stone wall (the side of a council building on Old Road) with some interesting patterns. Yes, of course I took some photos…
One of the things that really surprised me about coming to Devon was how common buzzards are here. I’d only seen one once or twice in Nottinghamshire, but here there are plenty.
Yet somehow, I’ve not managed to get a photo.
They aren’t the friendliest of birds, I suppose. They don’t come close, and although I’ve caught [...]
I processed a batch of photos yesterday, and uploaded them to Flickr. Without realising it, four of them in a row were just titled for the letters and numbers that appeared in the photo:
HELLO
GRIT SALT
G
From the same grit bin, just the G:
68
I loved the colours in the peeling paint on this door:
Donkeys May Bite

We had a walk over to West Exe Park today, where Tiverton Town Band were playing a concert. It’s not often you see a bandstand being used for its intended purpose these days.
Photos follow, but a brass band really needs video first:

The Horns
The Audience
Emo fence has been crying.
This fence is just down Canal Hill from home - it looks unhappy. It would probably be happier if it was facing the canal, rather than looking out onto the road.
I’m mainly posting this for the sake of trying out WordPress’ built-in image and media handling. It all seems quite [...]
I had a couple of days off this week, so I walked with Sam as she was going to work, then walked back home. We walked around by the River Exe on Thursday morning, to kill a little time before Sam needed to be at work. Someone had disposed of a rusted old moped by parking it in the river.
I can never resist photographing rusty things.
A couple more:
We needed to do a bit of shopping in the market, so we drove into town rather than walking. Since we still wanted a walk, we headed in to West Exe after brunch at Mad Hatters.
We found a fairly sizable park we didn’t know about, with a bright colourful playground…

Another day, another walk. Not as long as yesterday’s BigWalk, but not bad. We started by heading into the town centre again, taking a cut along a narrow sloped path that brings us from the bottom of Canal Hill to the multi-storey car park.
I love the telegraph poles and electrical system here in Devon. It all seems very unplanned.
At the bottom of Canal Hill, I took a time-lapse video of the roundabout - one minute of the roundabout in a three-second video:

We went out for a nice long (for us, anyway) walk yesterday, starting with our usual Saturday brunch at Mad Hatters. After ordering, we went to sit out in the garden, and wondered if we should have gone for the duck - it was very fresh.
It was drinking from the water bowl left out for dogs.
Mmm. Coffee. And Doppio. A good start to the day.

This is Pixie:
We wanted to take part in a sponsored dog walk for The Blue Cross, especially since it was along the canal that passes a few minutes walk from home. Only one problem: we don’t have a dog.
Since we volunteer at the local Blue Cross centre, though, they said they’d bring us a dog we could borrow for the walk. When we turned up, we were greeted by that happy little puppy, Pixie.
