Clovelly

----------

 

Situated on the north coast of Devon UK, the tiny village of Clovelly has a history dating back to the 14th Century.

 

Clovelly was once a bustling fishing port, famous for its Herring and Mackerel, and in past centuries this coastline was rife with smuggling and piracy. It is also notorious for shipwrecks, so since 1870 Clovelly has had its own resident lifeboat.

 

The streets of Clovelly are far to steep and narrow for vehicles, and for centuries all goods to the village have either been delivered by Donkeys or sledge, from groceries to building materials ! The famous narrow cobbled streets are built from pebbles hauled up from the beach.

 

With its many fascinating alleyways and tiny harbour, and fantastic coastal walks, Clovelly is well worth a visit.

Thanks for the photo's and the write up Mr Wiggly. So it's worth a visit just to see the lack of traffic wardens. :)

Free to choose apart from the ones where the trust poked their nose in. Common eel. tope. Bass and sea bream. All restricted.


New for 2016 TAT are the main instigators for the demise of the u k bass charter boat industry, where they went screaming off to parliament and for the first time assisting so called angling gurus set up bass take bans with the e u using rubbish exaggerated info collected by ices from anglers, they must be very proud.

Upgrade, the door has been closed with regards to anglers being linked to the e u superstate and the failed c f p. So TAT will no longer need to pay monies to the EAA anymore as that org is no longer relevant to the u k . Goodbye to the europeon anglers alliance and pathetic restrictions from the e u.

Angling is better than politics, ban politics from angling.

Consumer of bass. where is the evidence that the u k bass stock need angling trust protection. Why won't you work with your peers instead of castigating them. They have the answer.

Recipie's for mullet stew more than welcomed.

Angling sanitation trust and kent and sussex sea anglers org delete's and blocks rsa's alternative opinion on their face book site. Although they claim to rep all.

new for 2014. where is the evidence that the south coast bream stock need the angling trust? Your campaign has no evidence. Why won't you work with your peers, the inshore under tens? As opposed to alienating them? Angling trust failed big time re bait digging, even fish legal attempted to intervene and failed, all for what, nothing.

Looks like the sea angling reps have been coerced by the ifca's to compose sea angling strategy's that the ifca's at some stage will look at drafting into legislation to manage the rsa, because they like wasting tax payers money. That's without asking the rsa btw. You know who you are..

Clovelly, the last place I took my dear late wife Kathy. I remember it well, use the 'Landrover' up and down, Kathy was so unwell, she had not told me how bad she felt, so that we could take the girls on an exciting day out, Vitoria was 9 and Rebbecca 14 . . . we came straight back up! Cut the Holiday short the next day, Doctors the day after and cancer was diagnosed soon after that on 1st May 1995, all over, October 29th 1995, 26 years married all but 4 days . . . they said it would not last, 1965, a holiday romance, just across the way in Exmouth. She was with two friends . . . I picked the jewel of the bunch :wub: not sure she got such a good deal :sad2:

 

 

Perhaps I will revisit it one day, when I go and visit the farm we stayed at on that holiday, went down there in December 1995 and scattered Kathy's ashes on the grass field, over which our holiday cottage looked. The Cottage was built on a hill a'top the field which sloped into a small valley, trout stream, hedges and trees at the bottom, she just loved that view, especially in the morning and evening light.

 

Hay-Ho, Mothers day Sunday, my daughters dont visit me or call me at all now :unsure: perhaps its me, I can be a miserable, cantankerous old git??? :wallbash:

 

Clovelly, great place to visit, highly photogenic, I bet the early evening light is wonderful. Thanks for that, bitter, sweet memory Wiggly . . . life goes on, life goes on. SW

Our every day gripes and groans pale into insignificance compared with what you have gone through and your post Sutton Warrior, fair play to you for sharing it, thank you.

Brave, me??? nah, Kathy was the brave one . . . me, I still feel sorry for myself, foud a 'pricles gem' and lost it :mellow: 'Gripes and grones', yep, they do pale into insignificance, there are families who have suffered equally, sadly, my experience is not unique. I am aware of one such family at this moment who are going through a very similar situation, he is a public figure locally, how he is coping, I just dont know, very 'Pagliacci', thats how I felt, a clown with out a smile, still do, often. :cry:

 

We stayed in that cottage many times, it was so comfortable, built upside down, living accommodation upstairs, gave the view an extra dimension. I would rise very early, walk down the field, the mist rising off the stream, have a fly fish for an hour or two, wild trout are not generally large but fun to fish for. Kathy would get the girls up, start on breakfast and call from the window "15 minutes", just enough time to get back for break'y. Simple holidays, devised to suit all the family, after breakfast it was the family day out.

 

Come home in the evening often to a truly home cooked farm meal with the Buese's, the farm owners. We became very friendly with them over the years.

 

Life does go on, but, with mothers day just around the corner, such a strong memory is aroused, my Kathy, a brilliant mum, and wife . . . . Kathy's 'Clown' rises like a friendly ghost out of my old memories. Memories are running riot . . . ho-humm???
