My actual birthday was Sunday and after a mix of gardens, music and culture in the fresh air it was time for a day beside the sea. Brixham in south Devon is a small fishing town, popular with tourists and I hadn’t been for years. Here are some photos for you.

I had forgotten, but even as a child Brixham has had a famous ship in its harbour, well a full size replica. It’s the Golden Hind, Sir Francis Drakes vessel, so as I posted about the man himself a few days ago I had to show you.

She’s lovely but I don’t think I’d want to travel the world in her, would you?
