I finally have photographic proof:

The tide DOES come in at Weston super Mare, and the sea IS blue!

Also lovely cattle on Brean Down.

Only 30 minutes from us, so we’re here in the van. We did Uphill on Thursday, Sand Point yesterday, and Brean Down today - a lovely long weekend.

Skiathos take-offs are interesting! Do like the departure lounge(local taverna) there though.

I will resist the temptation to say the best view of Yorkshire is from the rear view mirror!
The best view in your photos is Picture #1, but only because there are trees in the distance.

Church, not a castle

Church, not a castle

To be pedantic, it's an abbey and not a church.

I reckon I was stood in over 20 sq. mls. of emptiness, no roads, no traffic, no noisy folk. Just me , map, bike and t'whippet.

Carrying on from Mikey RV post, here's a pic of a toadstool I found on this morning's dog walk, that's my size 10 next to it !

House prices are sky high here in NZ and it's very hard for first-time buyers to get a foot on the property ladder. I have recommended this do-er upper to a young couple I know. They're both DIY-ers and I think they could knock it into shape pretty quickly.... if the wind doesn't knock it down first.

That is a lovely looking house in a stunning setting. Would love that.

I notice it has a tin roof, and assume that would be changed when property gets done up. What materials would the roof be redone in? Assume not tin again.

I agree, it is a lovely looking house but sadly it has been derelict for about 40 years and the only occupants are sheep. In my opinion, it should have been given Listed status years ago as it is a fine example of an early settler's homestead, probably 1880s. There are dozens of examples of similar derelict homes in my region at the top of the South Island, including old tobacco drying kilns made from asbestos and they're still in use as sheds or barns.
You may be interested to know that nearly all houses in NZ have coloured steel roofs. The trendy colour for new builds is black but the older suburbs have very colourful roofs. Looking out of my window I can see roofs of cream, green, terracotta and even powder blue (which is not as garish as you might imagine). We don't have slate. You can imagine how noisy it is in a heavy rain storm.

Wow. Very surprised they still use metal roofs. Thanks for the information.
