There’s another world out there!

Photos from a slightly different morning walk on the Stafford Barton Estate in Devon before it got too hot for us with temperatures reaching 30C in the afternoon.

The peacock joined us for our breakfast coffee

Goldfinches waiting for their opportunity

Scandinavian style log cabin under construction on the estate with its lovely sedum roof

Mid-air collision averted just in time

Must be great seeing the seasons change here

Don’t know much about these – water boatmen I presume

Damselflies

Fortunately plenty of shade on the way home
