Today we set off from home to the Puffing Billy at Exton, for our Sunday lunch. It was another glorious day, with a nice breeze to counter the heat of the sun, whilst moving.

We stopped in Topsham Recreational Ground, for a coffee seeking the shade of the trees alongside the river.

The way this Robin was sitting on the path, I thought it was injured in some way. But as soon as I got too close, it flew up into a nearby bush.

On our return journey we saw the pair of Black Swans, by the jetty below St Margarets Church Topsham.

I like the skyline of Exeter from the cycle path, between Ducks Marsh Bridge and Trews Wear. We had a lovely Sunday Lunch at the Puffing Billy, and an enjoyable journey there and back. With the drinks stop, it takes just under 2 hours each way, so we were out for nearly 6 hours.
