Well we were about to give up when someone shouted "dolphins." So it was worth the walk and the waiting. Had a wonderful view as the pod went by just feet from the shore. A few pics from my phone, a quick view of a dolphin on one. Better version on my camera and even better just with my eyes!

We had fantastic views of dolphins there. We parked the motorhome up on the road to St George's Fort, parallel to the estuary, and watched from the windows as it was late evening and cooling. Just went outside when they arrived. Great memories.

The best dolphin experiance we have ever had was on the ferry from Brixham to Torquay when a pod of about 12 decided we were the fun game of the morning and kept us all in raptures for most of the journey smilesurprised and i did not have a camerafrown

I've been lucky just had another view of them from the van this afternoon, spotted one jumping above the water. A good dolphin day. smile

Well - if you want something pointless, how about the new style chat room.

Now cannot navigate easily from subject to subject.

Many fruitless minutes spent trying to figure out where to go next.

Hasn't the club done well (as usual)?

Straight back into house renovation tasks for us at the moment! Our house is built of very old, slightly porous Victorian bricks, but we have found a specialist company that can apply a breathable water repelling coating, we are just doing a few bits of renovation ourselves, and making sure precious plants are protected before the specialist company comes and does their bit! We have moved an old pig bleeding sink away from house, and it is going to be a water feature project in the Spring, combined with a Millstone. We were lucky enough to find all sorts of neglected treasures in the garden when we moved in, now put to different uses!

Nice to catch up on your news TDA, I have had some help in the garden this morning whilst OH has gone fishing. It has taken a few days to get back into daily life after our trip north. 

We did have some "treasures" in our garden but the previous owners lugged them up to Blackpool when they left. Bye bye old troughs etc wish they had left them in place. frown

The sink was in an old outhouse we demolished early when we moved in thirty plus years ago. Luckily, we decided to keep the old bricks, so whenever we have done any projects, we have topped up the brick usage with these extras! They look quite nice as border edging as well, laid at an angle. OH rebuilt couple of walls, and gave me the lovely D shaped brick toppers, which again are border edging for garden. Couple of old millstones are treasures as well! I even have the old loo from the outhouse in use as a planter!laughing
