Zealands break

Just returned from a fabulous week away in South Devon. Every year we stay at a small holiday home named Zealands a magical place that has been regularly visited by five generations of Stubbs's. The family connection is that it was rented by the father of Margaret Stubbs, Alpha Males grandmother,in order to court her mother. Once married they lived nearby and raised their own three children but still kept Zealands on, adding bits on to the original building over the years. Its rustic and homely, five minutes from a beautiful South Hams beach and has a wonderful child friendly piece of wilderness for a garden. Alpha male and I were joined by the muse and her youngest son, Ja for the weekend. The muse dressed fabulously the entire time and has inspired me into making a collection of dresses but more about that I've started making them. We also had other wonderful friends and family staying throughout the week, each bringing a new dynamic to the communal experience. To summarize..there was walking, drinking, no internet or mobile signal, swimming, laughing, playing, some shopping and lots eating of seafood. Kat x

Hi, Thanks for your lovely comments, the little thatched roof house is called Jenkins Quay and its where we base ourselves for wholesome crabbing activities, (trying to create a balance for more adult activities).
