Yes we did enjoy ourselves and we both got a life tick .Garganey.The hide at Seaton Marshes is superb with all round views of different terrains.
The only drawback is the distance travelled in a single day.; 28 September 2009 at 13:07
Anonymous said...: Excellent Image Trevor, I have been to Branscombe several times, a lovely village.
Devon not being my favourite place, lack of road signs, or is it me getting old :o)
Thank goodness for Sat Nav!

I like Devon ..it has a lot of *Old World Charm* . Naturally I am not talking about the large seaside places but rather small villages like Branscombe.I have never had or wanted a Sat Nav and I do not get lost often but when I do it is generally good fun and often another interesting place is added to my list.; 29 September 2009 at 11:59

Li Po

(Li Bai Li Po)

Drinking Alone with the Moon

A pot of wine among the flowers.

I drink alone, no friend with me.

I raise a cup to invite the moon.

He and my shadow and I make three.

The moon does not know how to drink;

My shadow mimes my capering;

But I'll make merry with them both-

And soon enough it will be Spring.

I sing- the moon moves to and fro.

I dance- my shadow leaps and sways.

Still sober, we exchange our joys.

Drunk- and we'll go our separate ways.

Let's pledge- beyond human ties- to be friends,

And meet where the Silver River ends.
