I Want To Ride My Bicycle

Photos Copyright: Maggie May

While on our recent holiday in Devon/Dorset, we came across some unusual displays of props amongst the plants.
This was the town of Seaton. In fact it is the main roundabout in Seaton and they have used old bicycles to decorate this flower bed. I found it quite fascinating and strangely effective.




This is the main high street in the town of Beer. There are little streams that run on either side of the road and these little planters straggle the streams like tiny bridges. This is just one of many and I think they are rather pretty.



This cartful of flowers was noticed when passing a private garden and I couldn't resist a quick snap. I bet I'm not the only one who took a picture.

These jungle animals were cleverly made of flowers and were in a small public garden, I think it was in Seaton.


Don't you think these two colours go well? Hot and cool.


This fish and the iguana below, were hanging out in a Sidmouth public garden.
They are part of my favourite holiday photos that I wanted to share.
Hope you enjoyed them.

Beer

Photo Copyright: Maggie May


I have been on holiday for the last week with my daughter and grandsons. We stayed in a lovely lodge in Rousdon, East Devon and the weather was mostly kind to us.
The area we stayed in was very convenient to travel to both Devon and Dorset and the photo is of the little beach at Beer. I love that place very much and it was lovely to see it again. It reminded me of childhood visits years ago. it hasn't changed too much.

I was extremely fortunate to have a good friend and her little girls stay in our house to look after Ash, our rabbit and when we got home Ash and the house were in immaculate condition. (better than the state we left the house in, I am ashamed to say!)

I will get round to visiting all my favourite blogs again soon and will be posting out more photos of the holiday soon.
