Want to try a bit of Nature Raiding?.. South Hams events in May

The new buzz phrase, I heard the other day, is 'Nature Raiding'... 

Whatever will those inventive PR spin people think of next?? 

I mean, we all know that escaping into Nature and getting a bit of fresh air and exercise whenever we can is good for us - but if Those in the Know want to call a spring walk in the sunshine a 'Nature Raid', then who am I to argue? Sounds like a good idea to me...


 There's a warm and welcoming sun in the blue sky today, and the little clouds scudding along in  the breeze are of the regulation white and fluffy variety...perfect!







When they are not busily flying around with their beaks full of important nest building material, the birds in the tress are singing their dear little heads off.




 
The breathtaking banks of bluebells are taking over where the primroses left off on the winding and pretty roads to the South Hams, and Spring is definitely in  the air today - hurrah!






If you feel in need of a simple bit of relaxation as well as Nature Raiding, book a mini break at Stoke Lodge Hotel and start to unwind and enjoy yourself!

 

Here to whet your appetite is a small taster of events and things to do in the South Hams area during the next couple of weeks or so. 

Don't leave it too long though - those bluebells won't last forever...!


From Dart Music Festival to Dawn Chorus Walks, Spring Walks to Surfing Lessons, Folk Music to a Fish Market Tour, Crab Fests to Canoe Trips - oh and not forgetting the Brixham Pirate Festival, and much more..!
