We're just home from an impromptu long weekend in North Devon. One of our friends was there a couple of weeks ago and loved it, my husband has been telling me for years about how nice this corner of the country is, and you know how much I love off-season breaks - so with the minimum of planning, off we went.
It was a truly beautiful spring weekend, and we had so many little adventures which deserve (and will, in good time, get) posts of their own. But the basic story was one of long coastal walks, and cream teas in friendly cafes, and quiet evenings of editing my novel. It was in all respects a wonderful holiday. Too short a time, of course, but any good trip leaves you wanting more!
We also took Androcles II on his first holiday, an experiment in viewing the world from the perspective of a small green rabbit:
My husband photographed me as I tried to get down to Peep-level! (Possibly one of the better photos of me, since it features only my fingers and boots...)
Can you tell he's looking forwards to his next adventure?

Androcles II is a cutie and I envy him - he had an amazing view from that bench :)
Such a light heart you have. It makes your adventures more joyous I am sure.
We're looking forward to more adventures.
i LOVE that peep picture - can't wait to see more (how long will he...umm...there's no way to say it delicately...how long will he last before he sort of falls apart and disintegrates?)
First, I love impromptu breaks. Second, beautiful pictures. Third - LOVE your peep! So cute.
I had completely forgotten how beautiful England can be.
Maybe I shouldn't spend every visit in Tesco's and go take a good look at some bits of it next time I pop over.
Do they have a huge Tesco's in Devon ?

Nice photos. The bunny is so blessed to be looking out there. Can't spot your boots and fingers, hahaha! ( took it literally and enjoyed the ride here.
Wonderful idea!
I love Devon and I felt in love with place when we went there to camp couple of years ago. I am glad you enjoyed it!
I love the traveling Peep!
Your green rabbit will be like the gnomes in "Amelie". Can't wait to see when it is on top of the Tour Eiffel.
Ha! I love the peep looking over at the beautiful scenery. That made me laugh!

Hi from Sits xxxx
Thanks for the peep into your peeps travels...you make me smile when I come over here!
Peep level! Awesome!
I have to wonder how edible your little friend is, or should I said, isn't?
Isn't it neat to see things from different perspectives!?
I enjoyed your blog and photos. I'm afraid a Peep wouldn't last too long if I took one on vacation with me!
Nice photos, and I love the whimsical touch of including the Peep. It's always good to have a sense of humor!
