(3)

We found Kingdon Gardens in 2006 and instantly knew that it was a place that would make a fantastic holiday destination. Only 2 miles from Barnstaple town centre, in a secluded valley with picturesque views and within easy reach of the popular surfing beaches of Saunton, Croyde and Woolacombe we loved it from the moment we saw it. Over the last 16 years we have started extensive redevelopment work

to return this derelict market gardens to its former glory. There is still a lot of work to do, but with produce now growing in the walled centre garden and fruit on the tree's in the orchard. I am sure you will enjoy the beauty and tranquillity as much as we do!

It must be Wimbledon soon... the strawberries πŸ“ are starting to need picking. πŸ˜‹

Here's a little bit of Sunday evening trivia for you... Did you know that a Strawberry is not actually a fruit....😲 Botanists call it a 'false fruit' a pseudocarp. A strawberry is actually a multiple fruit which consists of many tiny individual fruits embedded in a fleshy receptacle! πŸ“πŸ“πŸ“

Today's after work activity was hedgecutting Kingdon Gardens style! Thankfully I had a helpful teenager (I know, right!) to drive the dumper truck so no ladder was required! πŸ˜‰ Thanks Dylan 🌟

Our storage area has become very overgrown and with logs needing to be chopped soon, it was time to reclaim it. So after work today I put on my strimmer kit, started the tunes 🎢 and got the job done before the rain came.

What a difference a day makes! I got the strimmmer out today and tidied up the bank, I am definitely getting better at not falling down it with the strimmer!

It might be taking its time, but I think Spring is finally arriving. Bluebells and wild garlic are in bloom and smell gorgeous. The birds are singing and woodpecker is busy in the trees above. You can access the woods and river from directly behind your holiday cottage, so come and relax, enjoy the moment and enjoy exploring North Devon.

Although the weather hasn't been that kind this summer holidays, there are plenty of things to do in North Devon that the weather can't spoil. One of them is the North Devon Wake Park, a total wipeout course for kids and adults!

This weekend was all about strimming...again.

I ventured solo up to the road with truck full of tools to strim the bank and cut the hedge. Job completed, but I am always shocked at the amount of litter that is thrown out of cars along here, nearly a bin bag full today of mostly fast food packing and cans. Please take your litter home and keep Devon tidy!
