Beautiful morning...

Breakfast at home...

Then, off on today's trip...

...to Sidmouth...

First look along the prom...

...and out to sea...

...and back...

...noting precariousness

Back to the car for my sunspecs - if only I'd brought a hat...

Onwards...

Up to Connaught Gardens...

If only I'd brought a hat...

Good views...

Back along the front...

...and we decided on some ice cream to cool - however, this monkey flew in from nowhere and stole most of Anne's, including her chocolate flake...

Another town, another church...

...with this lovely house behind it and...

Katie the Cat...

More walking around the town and sitting by the shore, where we were joined by these wee chums...

Pasties for lunch then a short drive to the nearby donkey sanctuary...



...with its hundreds of rescued donkeys...

Refreshments...

...more donkeys...

...including Laurel and Hardy...

OK that's enough donkeys...

On the way home we took a detour to Exmouth...

...and walked along another prom under the still hot sun...

We spotted Starcross across the water...

Home to discover just how much I should have brought a hat...

This evening, back to the Twisted Oak...

  

...for more, unpictured, tasty fayre...

If only I'd brought a hat...

Home for some comedy on the box...

Today's artwork, "Producer by the Sea"...

Highlight of the Day : Sidmouth and the donkeys...
