There’s been a lot of rain this summer. (Who’d have thought that when scientists said we would have warmer, wetter summers that we actually would?). Anyhow apart from making the tourists pissed off and having to plan when to mow the lawn, it has meant that north Devon is looking green and lush at the mo. I live near to Exmoor and as I discovered on a recent camping trip there is an impressive display of moorland heather this year.
