  1. I have set up Devon American Football on My-Group-Events to bring fans together.





  2. I’m cautiously excited about this news. I’ve been using the Plymouth to London line for almost 20 years, and in that time it’s only gotten less reliable and more expensive.

    So please, please let this result in better consistency, nicer trains, and generally better pricing.

    Driving to London shouldn’t be the cheaper / more effective option.

  3. Very happy to see that Plymouth didn’t totally lose its senses and go full Reform.
    But it was still a big swing towards them.

  10. Around the “Green Whale”, as I’m calling it, there is a #CoastalPath which forms part of a continuous thoroughfare all the way around all of #GreatBritain, into #Devon, #Cornwall and on. Here you can see a sign highlighting two locations: #Porlock and #Poole.

  11. We went for a short visit to to #Totnes, which is a small rural town in #Devon. It’s only about half an hour by #train. It is on the #RiverDart, which shares its name with places like #Dartmoor and #Dartmouth. There’s a nice walk along the #Dart and here can see an old #masonry #arch #bridge which connects the town to the other side.

  12. I was waiting somewhere yesterday and I noticed this #Bronze #Sculpture next to me, which looked sort of familiar. So, I looked around for a notice and by the side it said this was by the #Sculptor #BarbaraHepworth and was made in #1964. Now, Hepworth lived in #StIves in #Cornwall but she was born and educated in #Wakefield, #WestYorkshire, which happens to be where I grew up for much of my childhood. Quite a coincidence. It’s a small world.

  17. Solved a decades-long mystery tonight.

    As a kid, I remember strange tones at the bottom of the FM band when on holiday in #Devon #England.

    Apparently it was this, as sampled by #air on 'Les Professionels'.
