It was getting to the stage where we thought our Summer holiday wouldn't happen.
Work trips for the Kiwi kept scuttling our plans and last minute booking in
Europe is not to be recommended in the height of Summer.
Logistics did not look good, one husband in the USA, one daughter in England
and our internet was out of action for three weeks, but I did it!
We booked into a gorgeous little B&B in Lynton, Devon
Picked the Kiwi up from Frankfurt airport as soon as his flight landed, hit the Autobahn and
headed for the ferry across the channel, up to Oxford to pick up daughter number 2, before hitting the motorway to North Devon. What a day of travel, but so worth it!
As we wound our way through the Exmoor National park towards our destination in
Devon we were astounded at the beauty surrounding us.
The tide was out at the gorgeous little village of Lynmouth when we arrived.
It was so good to be beside the seaside in such a picturesque spot after a mammoth drive.
The National Park we had just driven through stood majestically behind us,
basking in the evening sun.
We spent days relaxing, wandered along paths and enjoyed the magnificent views.
The perfect place to slow the pace of life and breathe in the refreshing sea air.
We meandered through paths in the Exmoor National park,
savoured the beauty of the heather filled moorlands.

Came across groups of Exmoor ponies and their foals.
Watched the sun set over the water, time spent in North Devon is good for the soul.
What a wonderful get away. Lovely photos. Cute ponies, too.
