Updown Cottage is fab-u-lous!

This is our place, and in typical Skinner vacation madness - we loved it so much we changed our plans in order to stay another day!


And that was the bad/crappy photo of the place. It was cloudy and cold this morning when we first went out to traipse about the town. It eventually cleared and sunset was something straight out of a dream in vivid Technicolor. I have some work to do in Photoshop to bring out their best, so look for that at some point in time in the future.


A couple of locals, seeing me with my camera out, pointed us to a little known overlook. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't cooperative for postcard photos, but it was a beautiful overlook.


In the last light of the day, the kids and I went into the backyard of the cottage to do a bit of exploring. The light was phenomenal, so I set up first Ian, then Leah, in front of this hedgerow.


Just a Google blogspot hiccup for why Ian shows up after Leah. Either way, you get the idea . . .


And for my parting shot today, a quick grab shot of the kids at another overlook, just sitting on a bench.

We're going out and about tomorrow before our return to London on Friday (instead of Thursday - gotta love our vacations). Look for more photos in the days ahead.

Cheers,

Marc
