Yep, it looks really like it does not have a head.

An old slightly strange place which is now a modern block of apartments, Sanford Orleigh was actually somewhere my family used to have a house - now demolished and completely redeveloped.

Coming by train from London, you'll be right beside the sea in the final leg of the journey.

The great oak will be back to life again come the changing of seasons.

Not Photoshopped.

That's a real chicken. This breed has a very odd look with a very squat neck. It's face pokes out of that part where it looks like a neck should extend. Perhaps not a native breed, a local chicken keeper with a variety of rare and cute looking chicks which were running around the beer garden of a Dartmoor pub. Trees, footpaths, strange buildings in strange light. Monuments and footpaths through the hills. Anarchy signs in back alley to a local boozer. Running right along the sea wall before approaching Teignmouth and then Newton Abbot as coming from train. An old oak tree, in a communal peice of land in the suburbs sits bare and looking almost dead. But it's only winter, come Spring then Summer it will be a very fulsome once again.


Thanks for enjoying!

Hope you enjoyed these pictures, all taken around the town I grew up, back in ye olde england, the land of green grass and rolling hills!

See you soon :)
