A family day out today and a trip down memory lane. It was great to show Maisie and Joel round Lynton and Lynmouth, on the north Devon coast, where I lived from the age of four to about nine. Dad was the vicar of Lynton and Lynmouth but his parish included several other churches on the edge of Exmoor. We walked from Lynmouth to Watersmeet (seeing four Dippers en route) in the morning and, following a lovely lunch in Lynton, walked around the Valley of Rocks - a walk we used to do pretty much daily with the dog. We saw the church where Dad worked, the Rectory we used to live in and the primary school I used to attend. We of course went on the famous Cliff Railway and looked around Lynmouth Flood Memorial Hall. Very nostalgic!
Dippers very rarely feature on the blog because I so rarely leave Exmouth which is a strictly Dipper-free.
Juvenile.
