Spring-like

We were very lucky to have such fine weather in Torquay. For the most part, it was clear, dry and bright and the sea was as calm as a millpond.

It is a bit of a risk spending time away in the UK, in the middle of winter. But we hit the jackpot this time.

With the blue of the sky and the blue of the sea, you couldn't have asked for better.

In the harbour, the sun sparkled off the shiny boats - with a little help from some digital jiggery-pokery on my new camera.

On our last day there, we set off in the direction of Paignton and came across some more gardens by the name of Hollicombe Park. Here too, the flowers were blooming as if it were spring already.

Malcolm was impressed enough to take a 'selfie' in front of the floral display - I should say, only adding to the beauty of the scene.!

More exotica was to be found here, i the shape of some magnificent Mimosa trees, also in full bloom.

By this point, it was getting late in the day and the light was fading, so, it was time to head back.
Time for just one more update tomorrow I think!
