Misfit Posted December 11, 2023 Report Posted December 11, 2023 Returning home early this morning after the Devon group TR Christmas lunch and stop over in Tavistock. I never get fed up with these views although my photography doesn’t do it justice. Devon is beautiful from coast to coast and all the hills between, well perhaps with very few exceptions. love it.

RobH Posted December 11, 2023 Report Posted December 11, 2023 Very nice Derek. There used to be a lot of good views around here too but over the last 30 years or so, hedges have been planted or allowed to grow tall ( 'green' subsidies I think ) so many roads are now like driving down an endless wooded tunnel and you can only glimpse the views when you pass the odd field gate.

RogerH Posted December 11, 2023 Report Posted December 11, 2023 Sadly, in W. London we do not have such beautiful; views but here is one from Apple Cross in Scotlandshire. They have a good many views up there Roger Quote

Thrust me Devon is full of hedges, but we are fortunate to also have the open space of the moorland as seen, undulating hills and valleys of green fields plus two coast line much of which offers clear unobstructed views from not only towns but rural roads and beaches out to sea.

Steve-B Posted January 7, 2024 Report Posted January 7, 2024 (edited) I never knew until today that a TR 6 could deal with excessive water. Took the opportunity for blue skies to take a drive from Matlow-Maidenhead-Wargrave-Henley-Bix-Haddenham-Marlow purposely avoiding roads I know are prone to the Thames flooding. I didn’t expect the A321 between Wargrave & Henley to be flooded so when I encountered what thought was 2-3” of water near Henley Rowing Club it was up to my sideboards ~6-8” of water. Drove <3-4moh carefully and made it fine but a reminder there’s a helluva lot of water out! (Couldn’t turn around due to about a dozen cars behind me) Glorious day for a drive though Edited January 7, 2024 by Steve-B Quote
RogerH Posted January 7, 2024 Report Posted January 7, 2024 Hi Steve, had the same up near Royston today. Going through a small hamlet of Reed End (going to the Silver Ball cafe) there was this lake. It only came half way up the ducks but I suspected more. Lucky we had the windows up. Some nice fish went by - must remember to go back for some fishing. If it gets wet - keep driving till it dries out. Roger Quote
Misfit Posted January 20, 2024 Report Posted January 20, 2024 (edited) Another successful W/E organised by Leslie Swain and the members of the Glavon TR group. Having a good time with good company. Edited January 20, 2024 by Misfit Quote

Misfit Posted February 6, 2025 Report Posted February 6, 2025 Out and about today on Devon roads, had a brunch at Shilstone Manor, good food, great pastries lovely views from property and gardens plus their Devon archives, all very pleasant well worth a visit. Quote
RogerH Posted March 9, 2025 Report Posted March 9, 2025 Only one photograph but the last few days have signaled Spring is seriously with us. Last Friday Sue and myself popped out for a Pub dinner. The weather was warm, the night was dark, the wind was still and the air was teeming with midges And so the Bats were out in force. I'm sure I spotted Christopher Lee with his black cape with red satin lining The bats are truly stunning aero acrobats. Today Sue spotted a post on FB saying the frogs and spawn were at a local pond. Reasonable size pond and dozens and dozens of frogs all up for it. The spawn was floating in rather strange humps in the water. Look carefully at the pic to see the frogs Roger Quote
