Last Day



This area has nice walk ways for people and bicycles - also has special parking for motorcycles.

Will be heading back to the States tomorrow - I have to psych myself up for 9 hours on the plane! Has been a great trip!

hedgerows


England is full of hedgerows - they line the sides of the narrow roads. This shows a town on the other side of this hedge.

Cat


This is Cleo - she is resting from the young kitty named Angel.

telephone


These booths are still everywhere - city, villages and countryside. Most of them still have a phone, though they aren't actually used much.

Exmoor


The famous English novel Lorna Doone, is set in the moors of Exmoor . We visited the old church where Lorna was shot at her wedding (she survives, for those of you who aren't familiar with the story)

moors



Moors


Went up on the moors today - beautiful country with lots of history - very windy. Some areas are the patchwork green, others dry grass with heather which will bloom in the summer. Took pictures of some of the wild horses - they are rounded up once a year and some of them sold.
