I’m back…tired and a little frazzled but it really has been a lovely two weeks. I would have liked to have done a small blog post each day whilst I was away, but the internet connection we had in our cottage was to put it politely…. pants! However the setting was so beautiful you really can’t have it all, and I think it did me (and so everyone else LOL) good having a break from twitter especially.
We went to so many places and I have lots of lovely photographs to show you.
You can see Day 1 and our first impressions here.
Trip to Escot
Because we were in Devon for two weeks we didn’t plan anything really, just woke up each morning and did whatever our mood and of course the weather dictated. The Lady who owned our cottage had recommended Escot as a fun day out, if the weather was nice, so that was one of the first things we tried.
We were greeted by one of my favourite animals:
There was so much to do here, we watched the otters. We’ve never seen these up close, they really are lovely playful creatures. We found it very relaxing watching them dipping in and out of the water.
Played in the park:
This is one of my favourites:
The park was really lovely, a bit tired and bashed in a well-loved way. Our favourite was the stepping stone logs…but I didn’t manage to take a photograph of those. It was surrounded by woods…so lots of places to picnic away from the beaten track if you wanted to.
We had Everyone but Tall Dad had such fun in the maze…
after nearly an hour of being lost, I found my way out using my superb sense of direction…right back to the entrance 😉
Tall Dad however was left scratching his head for a while longer!
I’m a little bit competitive…just a little bit 😉
Oh and talking of Tall Dad, here is some wild boar 😉 (Lets hope he never reads this post then)
Thank you for reading

Looks like you had a lovely day in Escot – but poor Tall Dad. I have an atrocious sense of direction so I feel his pain for being lost in the maze! I love your photos – especially the girls in the maze and Miss A in the blue pipe. Devon misses you – come back!
It sounds lovely. I’ve never heard of Escot, I’ll look it up next time we’re in Devon x
