Well what a lovely day it has been today, the sun shinning bright and far too good to want to stay in doors. So where would you like to go I ask, but I already knew what the reply would be. “Anywhere will be just fine darling” so as I always have to do is get my thinking cap on, its getting harder and harder as we have been to so many local places together.
We leave the house and head for our garage that is about 200 yards away and still I do not know where to go, now we are in the car and should I turn left or right. Then I thought we could walk the dunes at Dawlish Warren, we have been there together but have never walked along the dunes.
The dunes are under real threat from the sea and along the walk you can see the damage caused by this winters high tides and the fight is on to preserve the dunes. I have included one picture of Carol. don’t worry it’s the same Carol you have seen before, only the last picture taken was part way through her chemo and she had a wig on, now she has some hair and just does not want to have to wear a wig.
After the dunes we walked back towards Dawlish Warren but then I spotted a great looking rock heading towards Dawlish, my legs were just like spring chickens today and soon we were walking towards it. It is known as Red Rock and the train line goes past it, there is also a great beech called Red Rock Beech and I was soon on the beech and around the seaward side of the rock clicking away with my camera.
A really great day out and completely free and after being in a queue for food for about 30 mins we got lucky as we got the last of chips and was worried we would have to fight past the big queue still behind us to get our chips to a safe place so we could eat them.

Fun on the beech flying a kite
Building castles in the sand
