March 2019 Picture of the Month

A few days in Devon and Cornwall, taking in a couple of industrial sites for future magazine articles, also gave us time to explore several National Trust properties – Finch Foundry, Buckland Abbey, and Agatha Christie's beautiful holiday retreat at Greenway, overlooking the Dart estuary. We were blessed with beautiful weather in the last week of February with unseasonably early magnolias, camelias and other blossom already at its best. Oh, and the house is delightful as well. Last time we were here – in March a few years ago, photographing the return of the paddle-steamer Kingswear Castle to the river for a Vintage Spirit article – it was absolutely freezing, but not this time!
