My family, minus one brother who is busy at university, went on a day trip to Holwell Gorge, somewhere between Exeter and Frankford (I think). It was my other brother's last day visiting us before flying back to Western Australia, so we thought we'd better do something a bit interesting.
The Gorge was beautiful, but very cold as the tall trees cut out most of the sunlight. We weren't sure if there would be a walk for us to do because a few years ago landslides had destroyed parts of the track and we weren't sure what had been done since to restore it. The track was visible, however, so we decided to have a go. A few big, inconveniently placed trees made the track into a bit of an obstacle course, and eventually the trees became too big to straddle. But, I got a few decent pictures and only fell on my face once, so all in all it was a pretty lovely day out with clear blue skies, an energetic dog and my brilliant family. Or at least that's what we all thought until we clambered back into the car and soon after discovered several fat, black and malleable leaches - all of which ended up having a little flying adventure out the car window.

Hopefully I will get back to not being a slacker with blog posts some time soon.
Love Kate.
