This was only the half of it. That morning's high tide wrecked at least one car in the town.

Combe Martin at Low Tide

I love the rocky coast of north Devon with its undulating green hills, high cliffs and valleys that run down to the sea. They are perfect places to explore rock pools and the creatures left behind by the retreating tide.

I liked the background here at Isley RSPB reserve.

Grand shot.

Lurchers in the sun.

Great bathing place too!

Set in the picturesque village of Berrynarbor in North Devon.

The haul of slugs and snails from a night time raid on the greenhouse! Three of the slugs were in fact outside the greenhouse - but were considered to have been 'loitering with intent'.

The greenhouse is not large - 12' by 8'...

To give scale, he slugs and snails are in a 10litre icecream tub. The base is 8'' square.

It's egg laying time - cue for much honking and posturing

Holiday Inn Le Touquet part of a 22 euro breakfast.

The disused railway bridge over Station Hill, now part of the SW Coast Path and adjacent to the Bideford Railway Heritage Centre.

The bridge managed the combined weight of me and my push bike.......just.

This point was the end of the line for the model railway built from Barnstaple for the James May's Toy Story Programme.

Closed and up for sale.

Where's the cat?

Seen in the Triangle field. I thought it might be a young sparrowhawk but I agree with the advice that it is probably a young kestrel.

On the waterfront.

This is the building we stayed in. We had the first two windows (both ground and first floor) on the left hand side.

Clovelly is a village on the North Devon coast, England, about 12 miles west of Bideford. It is a major tourist attraction, famous for its history and beauty, its extremely steep car-free cobbled main street, donkeys, and its location looking out over the Bristol Channel. Thick woods shelter it and render the climate so mild that even tender plants flourish. As of the 2001 Census, the ward of Clovelly Bay, including Clovelly, had a total population of 1,616
