sands and beyond, on the horizon, is water of the deepest blue. Fundamentally the place has not changed over the last century and, as in Clovelly and Polperro, one is enchanted by the quaint narrow streets, small shops and cafes. No two houses are alike and it does not require great imagination to associate the maze of twisting streets with the days of smuggling.

tempted by a small cafe in a fascinating by-way, tucked away from winds and storm in a maze of streets. Up a narrow flight of stone steps in an old world place we ordered Cornish pasties. What else in Cornwall? This led to an amusing inci­ dent as the owner, recognising tlie Northern accent said she also came from Yorkshire and was proud of it. To this I could not refrain from asking why no black puddings in these parts. For, as we were soon to learn! the invasion from the north has been very pro­

Another surprise came when


later we were again reminded of things much nearer home. With temperatures in the seventies and the sun shining from a clear blue sky wo stood at the very end of England. There was, as some feel, no sensation of melancholy, no bleakness or forbidding atmos­ phere. On the contrary as we gazed at the fantastic shades of green and purple in the enormous expanse of sea at our feet or at the Longship Lighthouse the feeling was one of exhilaration.

in Devon we have a countryside utterly' different to that in Argyll or Western Ross. They, are completely to each other foreign. In the north the sur-,- roundings are bleak and very; often forbidding, where man ■ has to fight for a livelihood, battling constantly with nature to grow his crops and gather his harvest. How different in Devon, a county richly endowed with variety and fertility. Indeed it Is perfectly true to say the Devonian does not scrape a living from the soil. On the contrary ho milks nature as if she were a cow, which brings to mind visions of Devonshire clotted cream and the fantastic cream line on the morning’s milk. Never have I seen anything to com­ pare with this product. ■ We can thank our lucky stars in Ribblesdale. Centred


betwixt the Highlands and the lush south, we perhaps have the best of both worlds.
