Early morning walk. At the top of the next hill, I suffered an overheating incident necessitating an unpleasant half an hour lie down in wet grass. No mobile / 4g connection. Eventually, after an unsteady yomp of a couple of miles made it back to civilisation, via a taxi, and back to the car. Great views though. #highpeak #sidmouth #bankholidaymonday

Father's Day trip along the coast. #Sidmouth

Walked along the river today and delighted to see (and hear) a dipper singing loudly on a rock. #Sidmouth #RiverSid

Lovely day out at #Sidmouth #today. Sun shining, calm sea. Not quite warm enough for an #icecream for me yet, but plenty of children indulging.

The Knowle: Sidmouth landmark once a 'zoo' and hotel destroyed by fire

We seem to have an awful lot of fires that start in empty buildings here in Devon.

How do these buildings spontaneously combust so unexpectedly? Arson? Insurance job? Squatters?

Heading out to walk a few sections of the South West Coast path for the next week. I'm looking forward to disconnecting from a computer and enjoying some fresh air and a little #nature.

Today: #Exmouth to #Sidmouth. Looking forward to sea views, clifftop footpaths and the River Otter. I'll head up river there one day for some #beaver spotting, but not this time.

I'm starting out feeling inspired by everybody doing a #Parkrun along the seafront, while I sip coffee and eat breakfast.

Now that’s downsizing! Yours for just £70,000, Britain’s shortest house

Out to sea, brighter later. #Sidmouth

So, staying in a locals' pub in #Sidmouth. Bingo night, never done it before in my considerable years. Only went and one £109!
