Thought I'd share one of my favourite scenes. This is a snippet of the North Devon coast, taken above Wild Pear Beach, looking towards Watermouth Cove (which is hidden behind the bit of coastline that juts out in the distance). I was on my way up the steep climb from the village of Combe Martin (where I used to live in the 50's) to the landmark hill of Little Hangman. I now live about 30 minutes away from here inland.
Pete

Mmmmmm now the truth comes out!! You're not only a dab hand at watercolours and building water features but you're a great photographer too!!
Are you really, really sure you don't want to move to bonnie Scotland? I'd love to have a neighbour like you around.
