Friends, if you have been keeping up with me, then you know that I have been posting daily recaps. I will be changing it up a little now that I am in the countryside. You see, I spend some days on tourist-friendly adventures, and other days on farms. I’m going to try to do posts that group similar things.
Today, I would like to tell you a bit about Devon, where I was from June 11th-17th.
Devon is in South West England and is one of the biggest counties. It is the only county with two coastlines. It is also stunning.
There is an expression here in Devon: “Devon is heaven.” It is so very true (DISCLAIMER: I have described many things on this trip as ‘heavenly.’ While P. Lee, my journalism professor, would be less than impressed with my overuse of ‘heaven’ and lack of real description, I would like to defend myself by saying that this entire country really is heavenly ;) ).
Devon has rolling hills with high peaks and low valleys. It is green and lush. The country lanes are small, and the hedges are large. I could see myself living here happily.
Whilst in Devon, I stayed with Gemma and Jonathan in Crediton. They have a flat called “Kingsbury” which is cozy and well- decorated(shout out to Gemma, the decorator!).
Gemma is the Sports and Social Rep for Devon and did not grow up on a farm, although she does have a love for animals. She has one brother and works for a farming company.
Jonathan is a beef and sheep farmer. His farm is AMAZING. It’s actually listed in the Doomsday book. That folks, is one historical farm. He has two brothers and the most lovely parents, Jim and Karen.
They took me on some wonderful Devon adventures. I look forward to sharing them with you!
