I've been taking some time off this week!
We took ourselves off to Somerset and stayed in a lovely village (or small town? I'm not sure!) called
for a very restful week!
We spent our days just pottering, sometimes quite aimlessly....
Long walks on mostly very empty beaches
with no shortage at all of fossils to discover
and cliffs to admire and wonder at (it would be a geologist's dream here)
gorgeous wild coastal flowers to brighten up an already bright day
beautiful villages to explore
steam trains to watch (and ride on!)
which left from the most beautifully-kept train stations I've ever seen!
And even little water-powered trains which carried us almost vertically up a cliff
Sharing chips with seagulls
A little bit of sketching (but not much, to be honest!)
And watching spectacular sun sets over the sea - from our holiday cottage's little back yard right next to the water!
The weather was mixed but mostly pretty much OK and we came back rested and happy (but ready to get stuck back into work, which is just as well as I've spent the weekend trying to play catch up).
What has your week been like? Do leave your link and I might actually get round and visit some of you this week, seeing as there are no beach views to distract me any more!
