View from my junior school - NOT amateur radio

This was the view from my junior school in Salcombe, Devon, UK. We just took it for granted and only realised years later just how special it was. It took me years to realise the odd patterns on the classroom ceiling on a sunny day were the sun being reflected on the water!

Wymondham, Norfolk,UK - NOT amateur radio

 

This was few years ago when we ate at a small independent cafe. My wife had the crumpets on the left.
