Shimmery wintery sea

I love going by train somewhere, anywhere.

Especially when you look out of the window and see this

Past Teignmouth and going towards Exeter we were.

That cold sun stroking the waves in.

Wintery sea shimmering right up against the window.

Trees yes, cars no

I’ve missed the 1.40 train so having to rush – walk quickly – to get to yesterday match.

But i still had time enough to see these trees

On the way past Exeter Prison they are, cropped (pollarded?) to prevent them from intruding on motorists.

So i’ve cropped the motorists on this pic. They’ve been pollarded. To stop their intrusion.

Haldon Belvedere

I was driving back from Exeter.

In a forest, on top of a hill, overlooking Dartmoor – is this castle, Haldon Belvedere.

I’ve just checked the website. You could live in it for 3 nights (cost £300) It looks as fantastic inside as it does from the outside.

Just imagine living and sleeping in an enchanted fairytale white castle (Go on – won’t do any harm)

Being your very own Prince or Princess – if only for a weekend.

A dream really i know – and we all know dreams don’t really come true.

Or do they?!….. Lol

Nah – probably not.

Dream on sunshine…..
