Happy Easter!

We hope that you have had a very Happy Easter. Our accommodation was fully booked and all
our bed and breakfast guests enjoyed the 3 wonderful days of sunshine. We had a group of 12
staying for the break and they really made the most of the Exmoor experience! Armed with
picnics each day, they went sailing on Wimbleball Reservoir, visited Lynton and Lynmouth,
went on a Barle Valley Safari, walked from Bossington up to Hurlesdown Point, up onto North
Hill and down to Selworthy, pony trekking from Burrowhayes campsite at Horner and relaxed
each night in a local pub or restaurant. Our other bed and breakfast guests walked from here
to Dunkery Beacon, over to Webbers Post and down to Horner for a cream tea - after an 8 mile
walk, they deserved it!

Derek and I did 3 shorter walks including Dunkery Hill Gate, Ley Hill (where we saw a fox
enjoying the sun) and also Snowdrop Valley. On all 3 walks we saw herds of deer quietly
observing us observing them! The primroses this year have been truly fantastic in numbers,
colour and scent. The wood anemonies are so pretty and delicate - a sea of white bells
growing on the green mossy bark of the fallen trees - it’s a beautiful contrast.

We write about the many beautiful things we see on Exmoor but of course pictures say far
more than we can. Derek has decided that it was about time we bought a camera and put our
scenes onto the blog for you to enjoy. Its a question of which camera,how to use it and how
to get it onto the website (plus its Derek trying to work it all out so this could take a
little while)!
