This is the garden taken in February 2021. I wonder if we will see any snow this winter?

On the final day of out trip to Devon, keith and I did a round trip which included a cruise on the River Dart and a ride on the Dartmouth Steam Railway
The first part of our journey was a bus ride from Paignton to Totnes. Then we took the ‘Cardiff Castle’ from the quay down the River Dart to Dartmouth.

Then we caught the ferry across the river to Kingswear.

Wishing you all a joyous and peaceful Christmas
Many birds do not live up to their names, for example, Kentish plover, a rarity in the UK, or Dartford Warbler, to the best of my knowledge missing from SE England. But here is a photo of one that magnificently does – Black and White Warbler
Some people had a problem accessing the video I posted earlier today. I have now changed the settings and this issue should now be resolved.
We are pretty much on lockdown now except for trips to the shop, to get food, and walks in the park next door. I have a few trips I haven’t written up yet so I will continue with those for the time being and then see where we are, material wise.
Looking forward to emergence of local butterflies and Dragonflies
Wishing you all a peaceful and joyous New Year
Wishing all of you a joyous Christmas celebration!
