It's lovely, Sal. I have a decrepit old picture of Clovelly which I picked up at the boot sale, the famous view of the cobbled street leading down to the sea like yours. Have you been there? I rather fancy it. Have a fabby time in Totnes with Joe, oh I am jealous but then I will be away for a child-free weekend so cannot complain! We love the Munchkin but it's nice to get a break but twice a year! Hen x
It's very pretty - did you know that there is a Clovelly in Cape Town, South Africa too? It is next to the sea & runs up the mountain so is very steep - most of the gardens are sloped or terraced. You can do a bit of whale watching too. There is a train station which runs right next to the sea & has a sign which reads "No fishing from the platform"!!
what a lovely postcard, there's a fab description of Clovelly in a book of mine - In the High Valley by Susan Coolidge (it is the final Katy book) and it is just like that picture - even down to the donkey!
It was lovely meeting you at the V&H Fair! Your stall looked great, wonderful colours! I have enjoyed catching up with your posts which I always find so enjoyable to look at. I love that picture, I can see why you like it so much, wonderful find! Your garden flowers are doing really well. Many of my favourites there. Take care Isabelle x
Hi Sal, The new CK shop is indeed in Winchester. It is in the high street where a bookshop used to be. If I am not wrong it is right beside JJB sports shop. I really cannot wait for it to open! :) Take care. x
I'm a busy wife, mum, teacher, crafter and now blogger! I love my family; all things crafty; history; reading lovely books; baking; gardening;football; the natural world; quirky things; art; English tea shops; the beautiful Devon city of Exeter..the fabulous quirky town of Totnes..and much more as well! I teach in the evenings ,which leaves me the rest of the day to do all the other things that I enjoy. I have an ebay shop selling fabrics and crafts. I live in a small, peaceful, South Devon village with my husband, (once affectionately known as 'Dear DH' but now known as 'Mr Snippets' !! ) I have one son, who has graduated from Exeter Uni, having studied an MA in Landscape Archaeology and one daughter, recently married, and also studying an MSC IN Psychology. Enjoy my blog and please feel free to comment!

I love that postcard Sally. I can imagine myself walking down the hill and smelling all those flowers.
I love the cottage garden plants and the sea in the distance.
It is really lovely - ooh how i would like to 'step into' that postcard!
That's lovely Sal, it is a beautiful place.
Just popped a link to you from my blog as I thought I would carry on the Clovelly theme!
Take care

What a gorgeous postcard, Sal! I'd love to take a walk down that lane to the sea today:)

What a fantastic find! If only images were as heavenly as this nowadays. It is so pretty, I have taken liberty and put it on my computer desktop. x

Gorgeous, I love Clovelly, much nicer walking down the street than walking back up :)

It is a beautiful postcard and the place itself is so quaint, but theat hill is pretty steep I can tell you.
It IS wonderful - makes me want to go there. Good luck on getting enlarged. I'd love to have it in a frame too.

What a nostalgic postcard. I love it as a reminder that Devon is such a great place to live and to return to after travels elsewhere:)
