Devon Weekend

Had a great weekend with Julie and Phil in Devon - in their new place "Higher Rixdale Farms" just out of Teignmouth. The weather was superb, the hospitality first rate, and the countryside beautiful. I went for a great walk up the coast from Teignmouth up to the River Exe - teeshirt weather! I helped some people with their dog who had a big gash in its side which looked very messy and definitely needed some vet treatment. The poor owner was very distraught, as were the other people but I'm sure the dog will be fine in no time.

Julie and I also went off to see Sue Trump's horse run at Exeter races. It went really well to finish third which was lovely, except that we lost our pound each way as they only paid out the first two placings since it was a small field. We proceeded to donate more money to the bookies, but at least Julie's horses kept winning the best turned out prize!
