Summer day

It's been a proper summer day today - hot and sunny. I had intended to take pictures of  a typical summer day, such as people sunbathing, ice creams being eaten, bees buzzing, little children paddling, boats floating on crystalline waters, flowers blooming, bunnies frolicking, beautiful vivid blue skies, happy families sharing cheese and pickle sandwiches and orange squash, and of course, cyclists contentedly cycling. 


Never mind all that.... As it's now dark, the night time crew are outside in the garden and I have just tried and mostly failed to take pictures of two hedgehogs scuttling about outside. This is much more magical than anything seen today and I will post a picture if I get one later, so watch this space.

Doors

I couldn't resist the thatch, chimneys and whole cottages in the village of Otterton. The following are a selection of mostly summertime doors.

You'll have to imagine the doorstep

Thatched doorway

A practical mill door - flour is made here, rather than flowers hung

Access could be a problem!
