Glimpse of a view from woodland

July 30th It has been so long since my last post & have so much to report. This posting is about my wonderful sunny birthday I had on the 4th July.

For some time now we had seen in the National Gardens Scheme (NGS) yellow book a open garden at Cliffe Lee Bay near Ilfracombe & it happened to be open starting the 1st July so a trip was organised. First we stopped off in Coombe Martin for a charity shop mooch then on the way in had a picnic lunch looking down into Hele bay with spectacular coastal views. Then it was onto the open garden & we were not disappointed more stunning views, the original Victorian garden would have had 8 gardeners! these days there are just 3 ladies & a brilliant job they are doing  in the 5 acres with a wooded area but that was a steep climb for Beau & I, Ros sat on the terrace, wise lady.
