pasties & pirates

 It wasn't quite the honeymoon we had planned, but going home to England for the Christmas and New Year festivities, seemed the perfect way to end our year. Plus the chance to speak English for 2 weeks without having to think twice is such a treat! 
We headed straight to Devon for the first couple of days, our little mini break within our break, we stopped off on our way to Kingsbridge in Ashburton which is a treasure trove of great vintage/antique shops, I'm so excited to find homes for my new treasures, but the excitement prize goes to Michael, once he'd feast his eyes on his treasure for the day he was content all day..see above photo! First pasty of many pasties of our trip...

Bantham Beach looking out towards Burgh Island

Hallsands - the village that collapsed into the sea.
I love the story of Miss Ella & Miss Patience Trout...Sisters against the sea
Start Bay Inn for its famous Fish & Chips...delicious!!
