Devon

Now back in southern England, we are staying in one place for a couple of nights. We are lucky enough to be spending some time in a small, rural village called Templeton in Devon, in a 450 year old cob wall and thatched farmhouse owned by AG's friends. It is a 'bank holiday' in England (long weekend to us) and we are attending a fund raising event being held in the village hall. There will be skittles, home made cakes and fudge and darts later tonight.

I can't resist a country farm gate. This is just a couple of minutes walk away from the house.

Friendly...?...Devon cows...I mean bulls.

I love all the old stone buildings that are still in use today. We had dinner in a 200 year old ostler's house and blacksmith's forge. They still use the fireplace in winter.

The darts challenge proved to be a draw, which was a better result than the ashes. We came prepared, with our own special Aussie flag darts. It was a terrific night, with lots of laughs and friendly competition and cider.
