Okay, I promise that I won't bore you with any more photos of my recent break in North Devon, er, other than with this post.
The photos are completely random, there's no particular message or subject matter.

cook, sew, dig worms and clean fish. Must have boat and motor.
Please send picture of boat and motor' |

What? No more travel photos! Roll on your next holiday. Always enjoy your travel posts. You should .... no, I'd better not say it again.
ReplyDeleteThanks, but it's possible to overdo even good things.
DeleteLove these! Keep posting on Devon, more Devon, yes, yes....
ReplyDeleteWe'll see what the future holds.
DeleteWas it true that Julian Lennon's song
ReplyDelete'Now You're in Heaven' was originally named
'Now You're in Devon',but he didn't think it would be as big of a hit if it was about Devon ?-)

Which could explain the lyrics when you look at the pub that has the fatal charms...especially that big Monopoly iron if it fell on you,not to mention that big hand.-)
Well you could be happy
Ah happy in my arms
Ah don't look distracted
I'll use my fatal charms
Well you could be happy
But only with me
If you come alive
You can spend your life with me
Well now you're in Devon
Well you could be lovin'
Ah lovin' in my arms
It's after you're happy
You need my lovin' charms
Well you could be lovin'
But only with me
just take hold of my hand
It's a trip in ecstasy
Well now you're in Devon
(Could be happy, could be lovin')
Well now you're in Devon
(You're in heaven, take hold of my hand)
Well now you're in Devon
You're in Devon with me
Well now that you've loved me
Been happy in my arms
You don't look distracted
You lust my subtle charms
Well what do you think now, baby
Do you like it with me
Tell me what you think
'Cause I wanna know
Yes, I wanna know
Well now you're in Devon
(Could be happy, could be lovin')
Well now you're in Devon
(You're in heaven, take hold of my hand)
Well now you're in Devon
You're in Devon with me
Repeat Chorus to fade
Haven't heard this before. But there was a story in the paper where a man with his family was travelling to his holiday destination. As he drove he saw a sign and said, "We're in Devon now."
DeleteHis three year old daughter asked if she would see granddad soon - he had died recently and had gone to 'heaven'
Here's a sync Mike,I was over at Lana Lokteff's Facebook page and there was a guy named Devon Sean Malone who had a song he wanted Lana to listen to called 'Jig-Saw' -
ReplyDeletehttp://produktive.bandcamp.com/track/jig-saw-ft-devon-malone
I told him that it was funny that my friend Mike Perry had just posted a visual jig-saw about Devon.
The funny thing is how your pictures seem to go with his lyrics.
"Five severed fingers don't make a hand" ?
"Doe eyed in the bright lights,too affraid to dip into a palette of possibility and mix things up".
"She is unable to face her seasons,so she looks past them..." (Summer Lovin'hole in the wall?)
"I've been able to pick out the frame,we can all pick out the frame..."
"Five severed limbs don't make the body of a woman"
"fathers who throw us up high,ready to catch us with outstretched arms."
Take a listen.
An uncanny sync,I think.
Thanks will take a listen.
DeleteMike, such a visual treat really. Loved the window to the river; thought maybe there was a theme on wings, but no, it was chickens! Morris Dancers sounds so familiar... maybe from another blog reading. Oh yes, the seagull and the crow...what a shot! DO they model for the tourists??
ReplyDeleteAnd my favorite seems to go to the cottage..anything set among the green of nature! Visual treat.
Re: "Strange sculptures in a pub garden in Lynton"
ReplyDeleteThe latest book that I'm reading,
'Awakening to the Spirit World",
had a passage that made me recall the hand sculpture in the pub garden.
"The metaphor I use in my teachings is that we are like fingers of a hand that have dropped to the floor and who think they have a life of their own.
For our health and for that of the planet,we must once again remember
(re-member/hand ?) that we are part of a collective energy field,not separate from it."
Similar to the lyrics of
Devon Sean Malone,where he sings about five severed fingers.
Handy metaphors to re-member I think.-)
Thanks Darren - wonder why in the photo there is a USA style girl standing on the hand.Interesting metaphors and could be applicable to USA the country.
