The River Dart Estuary.

Thanks so much Jason, just wasn’t sure how the detail in a wider view would show at this low viewing resolution,
Regards, Rod.

Thanks so much Lynda, I’m pleased you described the fields as like a patchwork quilt, it’s just the way I always feel when I see them from this kind of distance,
Regards, Rod.

Hello Tom, thanks so much my friend, I wouldn’t want to be there today though, horrible wet and grey today,
Regards, Rod.

My word Hilary, you are well informed, it is indeed a beautiful river and the trip up to Totnes is a must do on a fine Summer’s day, the timber yard at Totnes has now closed so we don’t get those big cargo boats anymore,it must have been a thrill to see Agatha Christie in her garden at Greenaway House,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Jacqi, they don’t pay me enough though, lol.,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you so much Dottie,
Regards, Rod.

Thanks so much Peter, yes the chain ferry is still there and the lower one with the tugs tied to floating pontoons as well, they must be some age now,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Lyn, it looks so pretty on a fine day but today is wet and windy so it’s the last place I’d go,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Shane,
Regards, Rod.

Thanks so much Colin, funny you should say Red Arrows, but this is the field we were shepherded into when they were here this year and the mist dropped dramatically cancelling the display, but I saw enough of the view to make me want to go back on a clearer day,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you so much Dave,
Regards, Rod.

The estuary opens into a 40 mile wide bay,(Lyme Bay) and enjoys a little protection from the ravages of storms in the English channel but all parts of the Southwest coast are often battered during a storm with it being next to the open Atlantic many thanks Robyn,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you so much Barbara, the lush greenery is the reward we get for putting up with so much rain over here, but it’s worth it when you see it on a better day like this,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Antanas,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Pauline, we are blessed with some beautiful scenery in the Southwest, just wish we could stop the rain,

Thank-you very much Bruno, please do make the time, there’s a lot of beauty in this part of Devon,
Regards, Rod.

Many thanks again Catherine, I can imagine the view from a plane looking down on this would be one of those things locked in your memory.
This area of Devon is known as The South Hams and something I find particulary attractive about it is thge way the farmland comes right down almost to the clifftops, I never tire of seeing it,
Regards, Rod.

It was certainly a long climb up the hill before I could enjoy it, thanks so much Trudi,
