Perfect Holiday

View from Yealm Cabin

Have you ever had a time on holiday when it was just perfect?

The weather is great.
The surroundings fantastic.
The food superb.
You get to do everything you want to do and you come across things you hadn't expected to see, making the holiday an even better experience.
Everything is just wonderful, even if there are slightly duff moments, because you can laugh at them.

Each morning when I opened the blinds at Yealm cabin, I looked out over the valley seeing the wide variety of trees and shrubs, with so many green shades, looking like an artist's palette. And in front, in the field, were three horses together with a group of  rabbits. It looked stunning.

Jessie, our little Border, liked nothing better than to sit outside the cabin, watching the horses intently and flushing out the pheasants.

The village store, a couple of miles away, had everything we needed - I still wonder how they managed to stock as much as they did in all the nooks and crannies. I managed, with their help, to have more than my fair share of pasties during the week and they were pure heaven!

Walks in the area were a revelation. A walk to the south of the village took the old route of the railway dismantled during the Beeching era in the 1960's. Seeing the ghostly plant covered stanchions as we walked past them, as well as other industrial relics, against the background of the constant babbling of the river alongside us - just beautiful.

And Alan, well Alan was feeling very happy, because until he arrived here, he had thought we were going to a cabin in a holiday village. To come to a secluded cabin and area such as this more than exceeded his expectations, my bad mood at the time of arrival quite forgiven.

A beautiful 7 days was had by all.
