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.

My Dad came from Newton Ferrers, just along the coast so we often came here on holidays and days out when I was young and Dad and I would go looking for edible crabs among the rocks on the island at low tide.
