Hi, I did mention this garden on a picture posted earlier, it lies high on south Devons clifftop with wonderful coastal views across both Sidmouth town and out to sea.The gardens themselves are full of seasonal flowers which are replanted with flowers on at least 2 of the seasons.There are lots of little nooks and crannies with seats sprinkled all around the place including a nice coffee shop/restaurant. All in all well worth a visit.

I used to cycle to Sidmouth from my home town of Exmouth as a kid, Peek Hill never phased me but it was a good climb on my old heavy Rudge cycle.
Nowadays my Honda vfr 750 gets me about a tad quicker ;-)

and you were wearing plus fours, and just after that you got a job holding the lamp in front of the car so it could drive in the dark??
