I don't need a reason, but happy to have one (to survey a property/job a stone's throw away), to drive down Five Mile Lane to Slapton Ley.
Slapton Ley is a freshwater lake, separated from the sea by a shingle bank. It is a haven for birds in Start Bay, here in Devon.
The house itself was Grade 2 listed and I always warm to a property with lion head gutters.
It needs the usual box sash repairs and repair work to the porch.
After examining the building I had a look in at Stokenham Church. There were a few nice carving details.
And lots of painted panels.
This one of a wolf caught my attention.
Then a drive back along the Ley (oh what a pity), to Slapton, to travel back up Five Mile Lane, and onwards to home.
