    Thought I'd share one of my favourite scenes. This is a snippet of the North Devon coast, taken above Wild Pear Beach, looking towards Watermouth Cove (which is hidden behind the bit of coastline that juts out in the distance). I was on my way up the steep climb from the village of Combe Martin (where I used to live in the 50's) to the landmark hill of Little Hangman. I now live about 30 minutes away from here inland.

    Here's another view, this time overlooking the inlet into Combe Martin bay (which is out of picture on the left).
