Thanks so much Vince for adding pics and information to the tour.  Great Stuff.

I must leave early now from Drewsteignton and head for Exeter.  There is so much to do and see around this city so I will need lots of 'virtual time'.  You must read the fantastic write up on POE, lots of lovely photos, maps and accommodation listed also.

Amongst the attractions in or near Exeter: Cathedral, River Ex, Northern Hay Gardens, Powderham Castle, Killerton House, A La Ronde and Pinhoe

Near Honiton I can visit Blackbury Castle/Camp which looks to be a lovely place to stroll in and relax for a while

I had hoped to carry on the A30 and visit Pat in Chard but see it is in Somerset, so perhaps I can persuade her to join me for lunch in SEATON or BEER, (lol)

Nigel & Lorry have both submitted gorgious pics of Devon and I sort of hoped they would put them on the tour with a few words.  But I guess they are the shy types!

So to amend yesterday's tour so that we can visit these lovely places, we need to take a bit of a detour.  After leaving Buckfastleigh heading towards Newton Abbott we turn left instead of right and we can visit the lovely scenery at Bovey Tracey

Beautiful Waterfalls

Then we we cruise down the River Dart from Totnes we will reach Dartmouth and Kingswear and from there we can continue to Brixham & visit Marjorie and pick up the tour from Paignton onwards.

Well here I am in LYME REGIS, gorgeous sunny weather, lovely town, beaches, shops and I am now going to "catch a tan" (is that a south africanism or do you say that as well)? down by the seaside.  Hope you are all having a wonderful day wherever you are and whatever you are doing.  Tomorrow morning I will reveal where we are off to for the next two days (as if you haven't guessed, lol)!  Talk to you all tonight to catch up with what you have seen/done in DEVON.  At least, I hope someone willSmile
