The Word of the Day is Gallery, here is a gallery of photos from my recent trip to Torquay in Devon.

This is me in front of Haytor Rocks on Dartmoor.
Some Wild Dartmoor ponies sheltering from the rain.
This is Greenway – It was the home of the Queen of Crime Fiction, Agatha Christie.
This is one of the beautiful views of the River Dart from the grounds of Greenway.
Brixham Harbour, with the sun just coming out after a morning of rain.
Dancing with my Rainbow umbrella in the rain.
This is part of Dartmouth Castle on the River Dart.
This is a grand house called Carlton Fishacre, a beautiful house set in spectacular gardens, it’s near Brixham in Devon.
The Beach at Goodrington near Paignton, Devon (you can see the very red coloured sand that’s common in this part of Devon). In the distance you can see a cruise ship that was full of American visitors to Torquay, they are now sailing to Ireland.
I hope you enjoyed these pictures from my recent trip to Devon. 🙂
Very nice. Looks like you are having a great time.

It was a fantastic place, you really got a sense of what she was like from her house. I even got to play her piano!

I am thinking about it. They are so tough to write, but I did come up with the idea of writing a story from the point of view of Miss Lemon, Hercule Poirots secretary. 🙂

I love the colorful houses of Brixham harbor. And your rainbow umbrella is perfect for chasing the gloom away.
Beautiful pictures.

Thank you, glad you liked them. Brixham is lovely, so is Kingswear and Dartmouth, in fact it’s all quite pretty in South Devon.

Is that Agatha Christie’s house? Wow, it looks nice. I’ve read a couple of her books and quite enjoyed them. Did you get to see inside her house?

Yes, we did a tour around her house and it is still full of all her things and they had a recording of her voice talking about how she writes her stories. It is rare, because she was very shy are rarely gave interviews. It was a very special place.
