The other week we took a walk down the River Teign (it runs off North Dartmoor). salmon or maybe sea trout were spawning, Kingfisher diving on the other side, huge dragonfly, Very friendly crow came asking (politely) for food. A duck paddled by.
The kids had a great time paddling but to them it was nothing special. To a bloke brought up in Derby where the Trent was a polluted cesspit it was stunning stuff. All about 2 miles from the river's tidal reaches and 1/2 mile from a new housing estate.
If I said all this before - tough.
I was well impressed.
If I did not say it before - you heard it here first. :slayer:
