Dartmoor and Teignmouth
Saturday 16th April 2022
Spent the early afternoon on Dartmoor: lunch at the Warren House Inn, then a walk around Grimspound. Back to the coast for the evening, and Dad joined us on a walk from Holcome along the seafront to Teignmouth, with the traditional dinner there of fish and chips on the beach.

18:54:56
For a change, rather than just carrying drinks from the pub to our usual bench, we went and sat outside the pub itself.

19:16:58
It was doing a brisk trade this evening.

19:17:09
Some sort of big boat over there.

We took a taxi back to the cottage, and I offered Dad some of my recent favourite discovery - Taupenot-Merme's 2011 Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Bel Air.

I like the light reflected on the water here.

22:35:20
Back in Holcombe now, I attempted to do some night photography.

22:36:55
Got one or two stars in here but I think the problem is the little tripod I have can't face directly upwards.

22:39:41
More stars here.
