Situated about a mile from Torquay sea front is the delightful village of Cockington.
It's a place where thatch is the order of the day
not to mention the clip clop of the horse and cart.
The gardens, everywhere, are little treasures.
(Although...someone does need spelling lessons!!)
We had a very pleasant lunch at ' The Drum', which was almost deserted!
That done, we took a wander around this lovely environment.
The rose garden was past its best but there were still one or two snippets of beauty.
And the church bells were ringing to celebrate a wedding.
The trees here are beautiful too.
I always take a fancy to living in this gorgeous house!
This stunning clump of Rudbeckia caught my eye!
And unlike in our garden, the palms here have survived the harsh winter.
We certainly enjoy our once a year visit to Cockington !
It's Torbay's little 'jewel' and well worth a visit.
