A couple of days off over half term, and was gifted the most lovely autumn sunshine today! Walk on the beach with the kids and pub lunch outside. Just the ticket.

Time to sail the boat up to Topsham to be taken out of the water for winter. Sad no more sails for a while!

Beautiful walk along South West coast path today. Stopped at an arts and craft fair and bought a wicker trug, which is lovely! Man who made it overjoyed that someone would want it - but who wouldn’t..? Currently in use with jugs of flowers from the garden πŸ₯³

Topsham in the sunshine - hard to beat. Bowling green marshes - spoonbills there but hiding their spoons.. Was told that a baby spoonbill is a teaspoon!! I do hope it’s true….

Power cut. Website says likely to be down until midnight… All of the candles are lit which is rather nice - but phone starting to get a bit low on battery… 😬
