Title: Latest days out.
Post by: Dirkdigger on August 27, 2005, 14:12:57
More photo's from my days out. Visited a local National Trust property called Lytes Cary. After this popped into Tintinhull Gardens. A little disappointed with the latter but very much enjoyed the small gardens at Lytes Cary. ;)

Been a little preoccupied at the moment with decorating and all that. Out tomorrow to Paington weather permitting, will take camera just in case.

Went to Dartmouth today, absolutely heaving. Few shots whilst on a trip around the harbour.
Hope you like.
Oh picture of fields was taken as we crossed the Quantock hills on our way home.

Great photos DD :D  I really enjoyed them, especially as hub and I spent our honeymoon in that part of the world (many moons ago now :D).  Have had to 'sit and wait' for them to download in the past and eventually got fed up with waiting >:(  Now I have broadband photos download in a flash - I'm so chuffed ;D ;D (.....as I think I might have mentioned before somewhere ;) :D).    Keep 'em coming :)

Thank you all for the kind comments, didn't know where to point the camera next at Dartmouth. Ending up with about 200 photo's on an hour trip around the harbour.
Great day out took the steam train from Paignton to Kingwear. Ferry to Dartmouth, an hour trip around the harbour. Then ferry back to steam train to Paignton. Very very busy only just made the train back.
Hope to get more photos on asap. Just a few more for now.
DD ;D

DD,

These pictures are wonderful, I love the west country so much but haven't been to Dartmouth for years.

My Dorset holiday this year was marred by appalling weather but you have given me my 'fix' of summer. What with these, the beautiful bank holiday weekend and the possibility of good weather for my barbeque on Saturday, I can slide gracefully into Autumn with the memories of a summer well found.

Thanks again for your kind replies. I can assure you I'm only a humble factory worker, who likes to go out and take photo's.  Will try and work on a few more for the weekend, but for now I will leave you with these.

What a wonderful collection of pics. Have really enjoyed them all. My late husbands nephew lives in Paignton and has invited me to spend a holiday there. I think I will take him up on his offer next summer. Thanks for taking the time to share. Lorna.
