We went on yet another ride about, again down Thurleston way (South Hams), on the sands It was a sunny but windy day.

The young fellow on the sail board was really shifting.

A lovely little cottage.

Then we went on a bit further and i couldn’t believe what we saw,this guy was walking up and down in the water then he stopped and look what he was doing.

Yes…..feeding the Swans.

We have never seen anyone feeding wild swans before

And this little fellow came to see us.

I love to see the sea, and cliffs and dunes. It's nice to go there in the winter when the air is fresh, and there are no crowds about :o)

Lovely set of photos, Cmsue. I think both the swan feeder and the surf boarder were very brave to get their feet (and more!) wet - it looks so cold.

Hi Gee Yes it was very cold,at one point the chap was walking with the water going over the top of his wellies, I couldn't do that for no one :))))

Lovely pics Cmsue - I love Thurlstone! Once saw a chap sitting on a paraglider(?) and floating along about 6 feet above the cliffs. It would be a great place to live!
