Oldway Mansion

I took you to Oldway recently to show you Mr Singer’s Sewing Machines and now as promised here are some photos of the house. It’s currently owned by Torbay council and has been a popular wedding venue. Sadly it needs some major renovations and is now for sale as a potential hotel. I’m glad I went to see it before that happens.

Just a few of the things to wait for at Apple day, Cockington, Torbay. Held each October to celebrate the autumn fruit harvest. Juice is pressed in the traditional way with lots of different apple varieties on display. Once again this year the sun shone and everyone relaxed in the grounds listening to live music with Punch and Judy, a worlds worth of food choices and lots of ale and cider to taste. Kids, costumes, jam, dogs and of course lots of tempting crafts. A very happy and eventful family day out in Devon.
