Devon, August 2007

An impulse decision to get away for a weekend. A quick search on the web found a hotel in Hope Cove, South Devon with a vacancy, so we both managed to get Friday afternoon off for a quick getaway. We took our paints for a practice run before we head off to Italy next month for a week’s painting.

At an earlier stay here, I had clambered over the rocks below this point and found a Swiss pen-knife – no doubt left by someone fishing off the rocks. I still have the knife. I also spotted a lost lobster/crab pot and pulled it up to find a wrasse stuck inside which I freed.
