The last time I went on vacation wa years ago. I'm in England, and I visited a place called Beer, in Devon, which is in the south west of our country. I went to visit an old work colleague who had moved to Devon with his wife after being made redundant from work. Beer is a small, seaside town of great interest. It's on the Jurassic Coast (a coastline where fossils and dinosaur bones have been found). Besides the beach, there is a river inlet, and plenty of local fishing. There are some wonderful pubs and restaurants and all of them have great beer gardens in which you can relax in the summer. High up on the cliffs, there is a park, with a miniature railway, and there are more than a few quaint shops in the town. I stayed there for a week, and had a great time, joining my friends for pub meals and coffee and a chat at their home, or sometimes, just strolling along the seafront, taking in the sea air and the magnificent views, as the sun rose from the east. I like to take vacations in my own country, because there are so many beautiful and historic areas to see, which I have gotten around to yet. I love the coastlines and the hills, as well as the megalithic and neolithic sites, like Stonehenge, Avebury, Glastonbury and the many ancient burial grounds. Roll on summer... I want to go on vacation again!!! Brightest Blessings. [Darkwing]
