I thought I'd begin a project to try and capture some of the remaining rural flavour of south Devon, so here are some images (14 actually) from a walk near South Brent. I began near the hamlet of Cheston.

No sooner had I begun than I had to stand aside for the postman on his delivery round. It's already after two thirty in the afternoon, so don't expect an early delivery hereabouts

Two signs that we're going to have to keep a lookout for horses

A little further on and we come to Peeke Farm, this is one of its barns in some need of loving care

Looking back as we press on we see the farmhouse at Peeke Farm

Every farm has one somewhere, the scrap corner, this is Peeke Farms contribution to the genre
140828-1100631 by barrie.whitehall, on Flickr
Another stand aside, this time for the inevitable horses, the local riding school is out and about
140828-1100633 by barrie.whitehall, on Flickr
Some of the barns at Owley Farm suggest it was one of the wealthier farms in the area
140828-1100636 by barrie.whitehall, on Flickr
The granite and slate hung farmhouse at Owley Farm

Owley Cottage, if that's their woodpile for the winter, it's going to need some work doing before they can put any on the fire
140828-1100638 by barrie.whitehall, on Flickr
Pressing on down the hill we pass the delightfully named Owlet Cottage
140828-1100642 by barrie.whitehall, on Flickr
At the bottom of the hill, appropriately named Owley Bottom, there is a bridge across the Glazebrook
140828-1100643 by barrie.whitehall, on Flickr
Having gone down, then we have to go up, reaching Bullhornstone Farm
140828-1100655 by barrie.whitehall, on Flickr
Quite some way further on I decided to leave the lane and take a footpath across the fields, one incentive being to get a photograph of this corrugated iron barn that hasn't stood the test of time too well
140828-1100659 by barrie.whitehall, on Flickr
Getting back towards Cheston I came up behind this elderly lady walking her dog, it's got some way ahead of her which was pretty good considering she told me it was 15 years old
Well, a long walk, hopefully an enjoyable one, and for me perhaps the start of a project to record what remains of rural Devon.
