A Walk in Sidmouth

I think I can say with some conviction that Spring 2014 may have arrived. My parents visited for the weekend and we decided to take a day-trip to Sidmouth. The day dawned with a little early morning mist that quickly burned off and we were left with a beautiful sunny day. It was well worth the trip

The Calm after the Storm

Last week's weather conditions were horrendous, culminating with a massive storm with hurricane force winds on Friday night. Fortunately, Exeter wasn't too badly affected, obviously the river levels were high and some roads blocked by fallen branches and undrained water, but compared to some of the country we have been lucky.

Today, dawned bright, warm and sunny, so I took the chance to go to Exmouth. During last weeks storms I had seen You Tube videos of Exmouth seafront getting battered by waves. My biggest surprise was to see the sand dunes had been almost washed away by the tidal surges.

With a day of winter sun, the beach and town were packed with walkers but as always Devon can be glorious on a sunny day!

Sunday sun, and a walk in Budleigh

After a stormy and very wet January. I walk up this morning to be greeted by a bright and sunny winter's morning. Once again January broke weather records, this one being one of the wettest on record, with flooding affecting many areas across the South West. This was a typical weather map we were greeted with over the month, Atlantic storm after storm.

Anyway, I felt I should take advantage of the fine weather and take the dog for a walk a log the pebble beach at Budleigh Salterton. It was bright and breezy but lovely for a Sunday morning walk.

I'm a Dryathelete, will you support me?

This January I've decided to take on the challenge and take part in the Dryathlon. This means during January I won't be drinking alcohol and giving my liver a little bit of a break. As part of the Dryathlon I'm raining money for Cancer Research.

If you wish to make a donation I have a Just Giving page, the link is here .

I'm now on week three and feeling great, may even do another dryathlon later this year.

Who says that even a cartoon film can make you feel emotional?

Was watching Up yesterday, this little sequence is absolutely amazing and shows that even a cartoon can raise emotions too. A little film masterpiece.

The rest of the film is great too!
