Life and Adventures in and around Devon, England
How many weeks into Lockdown are we now? It all feels a little strange doesn’t it? I don’t know about you, but I’ve started to make a list of where I wanted to go in Devon once restrictions are lifted – and its all a bit safer. My thinking started off as planning a day […]
It seems that National Apple Day is “a thing”, and that an Apple Festival is a place to be to celebrate. The Killerton Apple Festival is on the surface, an almost bizarre event that on the surface seems to be all about apples.
