There was bric-a-brac sales, how-fast-can-he-shear-a-sheep-betting, pony rides, dog showing and ferret racing!
It wasn't particularly warm, but when the sun came out it was lovely!
We bought two books 50p each :), had a tour of the churchs'(built in 1300) bell tower, (which offered great views), and lay in the grass to watch the dog showing.
My favourite showing category was "most pleading eyes" :)

[Note to Dad: Many people were stopping Steve to have a chat, and I saw some of his relatives graves in the lovely little churchyard]
In the late afternoon we went for drive through the Dartmoor national park.
English national parks are quite incredible, as farmers can have grazing rights, and graze their livestock on the land. Dartmoor is full of sheep, cows and horses, that all roam unhindered by fences.
We did a little walk up to Grimspound, and lay in one of the ancient ruins of a stone hut for a while, watching the sun descend to the horizon.
We then made our way home, passing through the Widecombe-in-the-moor, (of the famous Widecombe fair).
And stopping to take the view in from a tor.
And how could I resist such a great jumping opportunity!?

Love the photo Sally. Must be a good photographer, not like your mum! Keep jumping and enjoying life.
