Not a terribly productive time for writing this week but it has been a success in other ways. Last weekend hubby and I took off for a couple of days on our own. We needed some time away from work and phones and general stress so we headed for a cottage on the edge of Dartmoor for 2 nights. It was lovely, time to walk and relax. Even managed to do a little Christmas shopping.

ReplyDeleteIt's not really an area I had explored before but it is gorgeous. Planning a revisit next year!

ReplyDeleteAww wish you could see it for real, it's so beautiful. Rugged and unkempt and full of hidden places. I want to go write there!
DeleteHi Suzanne .. sounds like you had a good time - lovely and peaceful ... just what's needed pre Christmas .. the thought of Devon and particularly Cornwall always call me!
ReplyDeleteCheers Hilary
I know a piece of your heart is in the West Country, Hilary. I hadn't really been to Dartmoor area before but will definitely return.
DeleteLovely photographs and a brilliant idea to get away, and as Hilary says, an excellent idea before Christmas.
ReplyDeleteA change of scene, even for just a short while, recharges the batteries!
