The Gallery prompt today is ‘Picture Postcard’ I instantly thought of our holiday last year, which was in Devon. We stayed in this gorgeous thatched cottage, it really was idyllic.
It was the first holiday we had been on in really long time, it was full of mixed emotions. I met up with my very good friend Molly from Molly and the Princess. We did whatever we liked for two whole weeks. The girls got sand in their toes, and fish and chips by the sea. We got lost in mazes and played tennis on the lawn.
But during this whole time we were waiting to hear the news.
Behind every photograph there is a story.
Thank you for reading

As gorgeous as that cottage is I am distracted (being the nosey parker that I am) what the news was?
Ruth says
Can you tell me where the cottage was? I’m always keen to find more lovely places to stay.

Sonia says

Molly says
Looks very much like my parents’ home in Devon – gorgeous. x
Molly (not the Molly who commented above, a different one!) says
It was soooo lovely to see you then, and I love the photo. But yes, it must have been a time of very mixed emotions as you had something else on your mind than just having fun 🙁
Gina Caro says
Great photo and a gorgeous house, would also love to know where abouts in Devon it is? x
Amanda Cottingham says
Hi everyone. Thank you so much for all of the lovely comments.
It was a really sad time whilst we were there, as my husband’s (Tall Dad) twin brother was very ill, and we waiting to hear news. Unfortunately the news was very sad.
The cottage was called Ledgers Cottage, in Clyst St Mary. It was the most beautiful cottage, so peaceful and homely.
Almost wish I’d not chosen this picture, but it was the first thing I thought of when I saw the prompt.
I’m sorry that I sounded so cryptic it really wasn’t my intention.
