I took this photo a few years back, its of Woolacombe beach in North Devon near where we live now.

Thats a good one Squiggle!1

This one was taken the same tme as my Av....its looking from Gwithian beach in Cornwall towards St Ives.

This is taken at the entrance of the Japanese Garden at Compton Acres near Bournemouth

I think you may all be able to guess where this one was taken

A tiny corner of our garden

How do i post pics from my documents? Not the internet.

unless you have a VIP thing you need to host them on photobucket and then link them to here

Wow Croc, I've never seen a sun that colour before  

Another taken from the same place..

It's a beautiful place.
 I was there just last week...We walked along the coast from Godrevy light to Hayle.

My husband's got some amazing pics he took on Flickr...was just about to post one when I realised he has his name on them.

Its a lot further than it looks isn't it...

So you went from here

 
to here

its made out of lego

It's a fair old walk; about six or seven miles, I think.

Godrevy


Hayle harbour
(Ignore the date stamps; it didn't really take us a week to get there...)

Did you go by road Sarum or straight along the beach/dunes?

We love it down there...we stay at the same place every year

This was the view from our caravan this year...

We took the Coast Path, across the top of the dunes. I have a dream of one day walking the whole Coast of Cornwall...but I expect that would take months...

Its funny you should mention that...a couple of years ago my brother in law and my oldest boy walked the North Coast, camping on the way...well from about Newquay to Hayle and then met us at our caravan site...which you must have passed on your walk....its where the set of wooden steps you passed lead to...

The next year same brother in law and 2nd son did the South Coast from St Austell but we had to pick them up cos son twisted his ankle somewhere near Coverack I think it was.

please tell me you had a Tyringham Arms?

Squiggle, thats just gorgeous.

There's a few caravan sites along the way...I'm guessing St Ives Bay, I seem to remember that's the only one that has wooden steps.

I didn't; I try to avoid pubs since I stopped drinking.
Although I did have to go into the Bishop & Wolf in Hugh Town, when we were stranded overnight on St Mary's...but only for a meal...

yep St Ives Bay....its a great base for that end of Cornwall and just a hop down the dunes to the beach.

the Tyringham Arms is a old school house converted into a pub/restaurant (though more restaurant than pub) that does the best carveries ever....and the rest of the menu ain't bad either.

We usually eat there about 5/6 times in a 2 week period we're down there.

I may have to go and start a Cornwall blog and put some of the better pics up.

Thank you Fairfax, of course the steps don't look like that all year long, just in the Spring when the Canterbury Bells bloom, here are a couple more views of the garden

Is that the sea in the far backgournd in the top one?

it looks lovely

WOW, what a fantastically beautiful garden Squiggle. Lots of hard work I imagine but so worth it.  Just gorgeous.

The top pic from your garden is a view to die for, Squiggle.  I bet it's hard work but what a reward.

Where is that pic Abo?

its a place called Blairgowrie in Australia. There is a jump rock to the left & its considered to be one of the top ten water jumps in australia. If you have Google Earth you can see more.

another shot

Ah I just checked it out...near Melbourne,.. we have rellies in Canberra/Sydney and Adelaide (and they have property on Kangaroo Island) but none in the melbourne Area

we used to spend everyday down there in summer. I've got photos of my eldest (then 5) jumping off where most adults were scared to

Yes it is Croc and in R/L the sea looks a lot nearer than that.  We like to watch all the ships and boats go up and down the Bristol Channel.

It must be lovely getting up to that view every day.

The garden is actually laid down to shrubs so not a lot of work, we have a local gardener comes in once a fortnight for 4 hours.  And a lot of beautiful stuff self seeds itself, the Canterbury Bells on the steps did that, just blew in. Amazing.

We never tire of the view, you tend to look out of the window so often each day, and we never forget how lucky we are to live here.

We once had a holiday in Blairgowrie in Scotland, near Pitlochry which is also beautiful, in a completely different way to your picture, which is gorgeous by the way.

Taken in Blackpool October 2007



Local beauty spot, taken last Autumn.

I took this on a day out with the grandkids.
This park isn't far from where I live but I don't go there often enough.

sorry it's a bit big, must use the next size down when I resize other pics
