Last day of the dark nights (we hope)!

Derek took the photos of the first Exmoor foals of the year over at Ley Hill this week – they are so beautiful! The landscape photo is from Ley Hill looking right across to the Quantock hills

We have just got back from a stunning walk over by Hawkridge following the river down to where the Barle and Danesbrook meet. The dogs loved it as it was the first real walk of the year where they could enjoy river swimming – sunny and warm. On the way back we passed a young lad who had tripped and broken a bone in his leg. Luckily the Devon Air Ambulance was able to land in a field nearby and take him to hospital – we are very lucky to have such a wonderful service.

We had a great group of 10 cousins staying for bed and breakfast this week. They really enjoyed themselves and after dinner spent a happy couple of hours watching slides and catching up with one another’s news. Long walks up to Dunkery Beacon and visits to Dunster gave them plenty to do!

Other b&b guests have been staying to go house hunting, walking and generally enjoying the beauty of the area. We have our guests/friends Julie and Helen coming tomorrow for a few days. It will be great to catch up but I have no doubt that there will be great competition between Julie and Derek as to who can take the best photograph of wildlife. Helen and I will judge the winners and put them on the blog.
