πΏππΏππThe weather in Devon this May has been glorious... Blissfully sunny. I think the Winter felt so long and at times so bleak! So to have the sun rays and blue skies has cheered my soul completely... With my daughter going through stressful exams it's been good to escape it all in the beauty of the Devon countryside & up on the moorlands.Stevies work has had a weeks holiday while they up date certain steel machinery & softwares. So I've had both my favourite people home with me this week. Sophia has had some extra hours with an English tutor too. So between that we've mainly fitted in local walks as Sophia needs time for revision. I haven't minded at all being local, home or nearby walks. I've spent time in the garden (mainly sorting pots & beds) digging & weeding... Doing household chores and getting up at the crack of dawn to paint with my acrylics on canvas board. π±πΌπ±πA few weeks ago we took a drive about 40mins to Lanhydrock estate, national trust in Cornwall. It's a beautiful place to explore lots of woodlands, gardens, park land & huge house... Even a thatched cottage & church within the estate. And still lots of bluebells in the woods. We didn't walk around the whole house just the kitchens & larder rooms as it was nust so busy with tourists.
I loved that the cook was called Mrs Candy!! Great name isn't it. π€£ππ±ππ±πΏππΏThe dresser top looked so pretty & cosy with the lamp & candle light, especially with my beautiful tulips from market day that I took a photo of it. I've been busy behind the scenes with house things, paperwork and trying to set up my Etsy shop again. I'm trying to build a collection of art to get bulk printed into prints. I'll get there, eventually. π±ππ±πThe Devon country side is so perfectly blissful right now.... πAnd a real inspiration for my imagination to paint.
So many beautiful walks on our doorstep ππ±ππ±πWe found a hidden meadow down an overgrown foot path... Isn't it exciting when you discover a new walk way... I love a secret adventure discovering hidden gems. π±ππ±π±ππ±πEarly morning & early eve walks are my most favourite times... The bird song & sunlight at this time are perfect & peaceful ππ±ππ±Meadow & wildflowers are my favourite πΏππΏπ... I always think May & October are the most beautiful months of all. π±ππ±πPeaceful moments in the garden... π±ππ±πSimple pleasures are the best....like a Mornings cuppa alone in the garden listening to the birds and watching the bees... x K a z z y x
