As you will have read in previous blog posts, I live in Ivybridge in the beautiful South Hams area of Devon. Ivybridge is known as the “Gateway to South Dartmoor” and the actual village (locals refer to it as a village) has some super independent shops and also a lovely café/restaurant which is situated on the banks of the River Erme called the “Riverbank Bistro & Café” [Read more…] about Riverbank Bistro And Café Ivybridge Devon
Flea Collar A Warning To Pet Owners
As you can read in other blogs on my site I walk my neighbour’s dog Henry twice a week for a good few years now (with other odd days where I look after him). Henry is a dear old Golden Retriever and is a real gentleman of the doggy world, who loves his walks – especially when it is warm and sunny. Although he is nearly 12 years old, he was fit and healthy and could go on lengthy walks. However in late 2013 when he was 10 his owners bought him a new flea collar and suddenly his health deteriorated. [Read more…] about Flea Collar A Warning To Pet Owners
Henlake Down Fire
If you have read previous blogs, you will see that I walk a neighbour’s dog Henry twice a week. Our favourite place for walking is up on Henlake Down which is just behind our house in Ivybridge, Devon. It is a beautiful and peaceful place, abundant with birds, small wildlife and even deer, which I have had the pleasure and excitement of seeing on a couple of occasions. I access it by a steep farm track but once up on the open moor it is a lovely place to be and the panoramic views are spectacular, and on a clear day you can even see the sea. We have been walking up there for years, but in the last couple of weeks the landscape has changed beyond all recognition. [Read more…] about Henlake Down Fire
Wicked Musical Theatre Royal Plymouth
I do like going to the Theatre on the odd occasion (as it is rather expensive), and although initially I did not book to see it, friends who had seen “Wicked” at the Theatre Royal in Plymouth, said if I got the chance to see it, to try and get a ticket. I had also read rave reviews about this production so decided that this was a show I should try and get to see it. I went onto the Theatre’s website a couple of weeks ago and managed to find two seats together in the back row of the stalls for the 11th February 2015. After all the hype I was really looking forward to it. [Read more…] about Wicked Musical Theatre Royal Plymouth
Paddington Film My Personal Review
I know that I am probably a bit late to post a review on the above film, as it has been going for quite a while, but I have only just seen it myself and just had to comment on it.
I have to say that this is just a delightful and charming film and suitable for any age, which describes how the loveable Paddington bear gets to arrive in London to find a new home and the events that take place whilst he is making himself at home. The computer graphics of the actual bear are absolutely brilliant, and I defy anyone who doesn’t concur with me that it is hard to think that he is not real!!!! sad but true but he really is adoreable.
