Dawlish and Powderham Castle. Väike puhkus Devonis.

We had a lovely holiday in Dawlish Warren, Devon. Knowing the British weather, I did not expect that I could swim in the sea at the end of August. We were lucky enough to get some sunshine every day despite that we got rain nearly every day also. That's the way the Great British weather is, just need to be prepared, for it, take right clothing, lot of reading matter and knitting with you. We had nice walks from Dawlish Warren to Dawlish. The walk is a part of the South West Coast Path. The coast is lined by ancient red sandstone cliffs. Even the water in Dawlish brook is red. One day we visited Powderham Castle which is nearby.  The castle remains the seat of the Courtenay family, the Earls of Devon.

I read two books during my holiday, The Bronze Horseman and The Ballroom Café,  knitted a shawlette and half of the other shawl. Busy holidays ;)

I hope to get a chance to walk  some other parts of the path in future, I would really love it.

Veetsime suvelõpupuhkuse Devonis, suvituskohas Dawlish Warren. Teades ilmaolusid Inglismaal polnud erilist lootust merre ujuma minna augusti lõpus. Õnneks paistis päike enamikel päevadel kasvõi mõne tunnigi, kuigi ka vihma sadas enamikel päevadest. Selline see ilm on Inglismaal. Tuleb pakkida kaasa riided igaks ilmaks, samuti hulk lugemist ja kudumist. 

Piki lõunarannikut kulgeb sadade miilide pikkuselt matkarada South West Coast Path, Väikese osa sellest kõndisime mitu korda läbi teel naaberkülla Dawlish. Siin piirkonnas on rannikul iidsed punasest liivakivist kaljud. Isegi vesi Dawlish'i jões on punane. Ühel päeval külastasime lähedalasuvat Powderham Castle , mis on  Courtenay perekonna, Devoni krahvi, elukohaks. Mõned päevad varem 18-nes krahv suri, lipp lossikatusel oli pooles vardas. 

Puhkuseajal lugesin kaks raamatut The Bronze Horseman and The Ballroom Café, kudusin ühe väikese salli ja pool teisest, kirjutan neist varsti.
