England. Pastoral scenes in the North Devon countryside.

Moments of peace in the countryside. We headed for the horizon and the bright yellow of the rapeseed fields, the vibrant yellow was slightly muted by the sea mist rolling in. The photos taken capture the patchwork fields, winding country lanes and wildflower filled verges, England's green and yellow pleasant land. Flower power in the Devon countryside does the heart good. Wish everyone, everywhere could experience such tranquility.

Pitch Perfect.. Sights and sounds at The Valley of Rocks

So many sights and sounds at The Valley of Rocks, birdsong, bees buzzing, goats bleating or baahing (do goats baah like sheep) and the whack of leather on willow. Sounds like the lads are getting ready for the season down below. Practice makes perfect.  

“Lynton and Lynmouth Cricket Club was established in 1876. The ground, which is thought of by many as the most picturesque in England, is situated in the centre of The Valley of Rocks, between two giant tors, with sweeping views down to the sea.” 

I think that's a pretty good description of the view.
