Lovely pix Tim. The dragonfly one is rather scary!

Pretty good weather this weekend - lots of sun, some cloud - here in East Devon. Almost seemed like the summer we missed.

hi dave

i'm an hour and a half away so won't make it for 9. i'll try and get there as early as i can though. will the ramble go on into the afternoon...conditions might actually be better then given the time of year and poor temps we've been having lately.

seven day forecast is currently forecasting a decent day for sunday. fingers crossed it will stay that way but unfortunately those longer term forecasts do tend to change a lot. my partner has been asked to a seminar in manchester that day but isn't sure she wants to go. if she goes i stay at home...if she stays at home i go to llangegla, so we shall see. are you taking the girls, dave?
