Thanks for the photos.

Here are a few from around here. The beach is at Teignmouth last week, and the trees line an open area near our rental in Dawlish.

Oh dear. This is making me really homesick now. Beautiful photos of a beautiful place.

As someone else asked, is finding work hard right now? My husband is a time served plumber and gasfitter.

What are house prices like . I just wonder if we'd even be able to afford a property.

Hope you like it here. We've been really socked in with sea mist on and off for days. Last night we could hardly see the house across the street. It's clearer now, but damp and chilly. It was much better weather this time last year.

Coming to this thread a bit late .. nice photographs!
I did that walk in January 2007. I stayed in Sidmouth for three or four days, weather was really mild and I walked to Budleigh Salterton one day and took the bus back from Budleigh to Sidmouth. Very nice stretch of the coastpath.

So we rented down here in Dawlish, and a house just turned up nearby. :thumbsup: Lovely sea view, stuck in the late '70s so it needs work, but priced accordingly. And as we're renting we don't have to live in the middle of the unheaval!

We don't think property is a growth investment any more, and reckon prices could well go down, but this will be our home for quite a while, we hope.

Bev :)

This makes me exceedingly jealous. Let me know if you ever want to swap devon for a shoebox-sized apartment in NYC....
