We slipped out of Cornwall, across the Tamar River, and made our way to Maidencombe in Devon where we had booked a week in an apartment.
As usual I wanted to see the local beach before anything else - it was a long way down from the top of the cliffs!
The apartment was very pleasant with white sofas and rugs and art work on the walls.
From the window was a view of the sea and sheep were in the field. I tried to count them. I think I got up to 55 before the inevitable happened zzzzz zzzzz!
As it mostly does, morning arrived and we put on our walking boots to see - well, whatever we could see. Nearby was a lovely thatched pub ...
... and a village green with a touch of yellow.
Lots more thatched buildings and green fields to enjoy ...
... plus an orchard.
Green fields in abundance, some hiding very desirable properties. The white building below is where we stayed.
There were several paths to choose and we decided to walk part of the coastal path.
We wandered the green / yellow fields until ...
... we found a style to cross onto the coastal path.
The views from the path weren't too special as the sea was hiding bashfully behind bushes and trees.
An inland path led us astray but somehow ...
... we ended up on Maidencombe beach with its reddish sand.
Came across a few interesting looking rocks as the sky and sea turned brighter and bluer.
All in all a very pleasant walk.

Earlier in this post I mentioned sheep. Here's another pic. I snapped the photo early in the morning while still in bed! I didn't realise anyone/thing could see into our bedroom.
I think that's all for today but there will be a further Devon post before I get back into my Cornwall routine.
All good wishes, enjoy June. ~ Mike.
