A Weekend near Dartmoor

We spent the last few days at a lovely guest house at Horrabridge on the edge of Dartmoor.

From the moor it is possible to see for miles.
The native Dartmoor ponies were enjoying the sunshine.

A family group.

This cute little foal was very young.

As well as ponies there were also sheep and cattle on the moor.

The reason for our visit to the area was to attend the district convention at Plymouth.
It was a wonderful and upbuilding programme with over 6000 in attendance on Sunday.

Although the weather was quite chilly we did have a bit of sunshine on Saturday.
This is Ben, our grandson, trying to keep cool!

It was a wonderful opportunity to meet up with old friends.
In fact we met a brother, Barry Turner, who we had not seen for at least 45 years. Although he was just a young lad at the time and living in Kent, he actually recognised David after all these years!

Finally we are pleased to announce that Suzie's Siamese cat Bella gave birth to 6 kittens on 20th July. Mother and babies are all doing well!
Bella now has her own photo-diary of her babies progress
The babies are now a week old and still doing well!
