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.

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.
We’ve lived here in Devon for over a year and I’m still bowled over by the beauty of the place. Moving from a fairly nondescript suburban housing development where the view was just more of the same houses to, well, this:
It’s incredible. I’ve spent a great deal of time staring at this view open-mouthed. I still can’t believe we live here.
Enough of playing with old photos - time for some new ones. Here are two words you see a great deal around Devon - “Tea Gardens” - and they’re always enjoyable places to sit back, relax, and enjoy a cuppa (when the weather’s nice).
This particular Tea Garden is at one of our regular stops - Mad Hatter’s Restaurant in Tiverton. Best coffee in town.
I enjoyed making the photogrid of Michael yesterday, so I decided to make another one. This grid features pictures taken in and around our home town, Tiverton.
