One day we started a walk at Horsebridge, small hamlet on the Devon side of the River Tamar between Callington and Tavistock. It had been raining quite a bit, but it was a sunny day at last. This is a garden in the village containing an old millstone.
We started walking along a green lane
We passed by this wsmall waterfall on a millstream beside the lane
The lane became wetter. Mum and her friend Christine are negotiating this puddle
And it became mudier
And then became impassable
We had to turn back and take this bridleway which led back to the lane into the village.
These are the twin villages of Kingsand and Cawsand which are on Cawsand Bay which is situated at the entrance to Plymouth Sound. It was quite a wet day
A small boat moored off Kingsand
Fort Picklecombe looming out of the rain. One of the forts built to protec Plymouth sound and has now been converted into luxury flats!
