East Dean Walk

We had a lovely walk through the woods near East Dean, and a very nice meal in the Star and Garter afterwards.  My first venison...   Cheers...

New Fence

My biggest DIY job during lock down was to put up a new fence. It's done!
Joe was a great help breaking up the old fence, and the old shed...
11 panels, metal posts and I built a little wall...
And I cleaned to patio.....
Back to work for a rest :-)

Poppit 2020

We set off for our holiday in Poppit today.  Joe face masked up for the service station.

Straight onto the beach when we arrive.  Joe's friend Caleb is also here as usual  :-)

Back in our home from home...
Joe and Caleb jumping sand dunes..
A nice bit of climbing on the rocks with Lisa...
Joe and Caleb are sitting on the rock above the blow hole round on second beach...
We had a walk up the hill over looking Poppit.  I should make this photo into a postcard :-)
Joe and Lisa...
I built a tower of rocks while the kids were climbing...
Joe coming back from the beach to the cottage...
The tide was down during the day, which meant nice walks around to the Old Lifeboat Station...
I kayaked round with Joe when the tide was rather high.  Spot the wave breaking over the jetty...
Fellows on the rocks :-)    Sitting by the rock which looks like the British Isles...
Lisa out body boarding...
Joe doing his thing on the beach...
Out kayaking with Lisa...
Joe and Caleb buried a big 'valuable' stone.  They intend to dig it up again next year.  It is 75 spade lengths from the lifebelt post...
We had a nice paddle up and down the Teifi with Graham and Caleb...
Joe trying to paddle UP the rapids.  He didn't manage it....maybe next year.
The kids spotted a rope swing and had great fun launching themselves into the water...
A last walk along the beach before we head home...
Another fabulous week at Poppit  :-)
