A wonderful warm afternoon in the delightful Devon coastal village of Beer. It was the line of boats, backed by the chalk cliff that caught my attention, although there were lots of other equally good view points...
My first ever visit to Beer was back in the early 1980's and to this day have fond memories. That first visit was at dawn and I stayed for a few hours (longer that expected), before heading further west towards Cornwall. The boatmen were preparing the boats for the days work, the smell of breakfast being cooked wafted in the air... Most of the boats have changes since then but the location and natural surrounding of the harbour hasn't - still a great location.
