  • Today I took a stroll around the 'Ditto Trail' in Dawlish - It involves finding wooden houses hidden away, that are supposedly the homes of the Dittos. The Dawlish Dittos are almost like fairy folk, and star in a couple of Childrens Books. For more info on them & the books, check out dittosofdawlis...
    No timestamps today - I simply followed the map: dittosofdawlis...

    How lovely 😊. Always been fascinated by little houses, think it dates back to reading The Borrowers as a child. Also I imagine they're easier to keep clean, just pick it up and tap the dust out (shake 'n' no vac) 😂. Thanks Bill 🤗

    Hi Bill, what a charming trail that is, makes me sort of wish that I was a kid again. That duck , notwithstanding its a she, should be called Del Boy. He who dares Rodders, the the way she was hoovering up the swan food. The adult swan gave plenty of time before it warned her off. Great day to walk around Dawlish and as always nice to see Gay's Creamery. See you tomorrow mate. 👍👍👍

    • @BillsPhoneTeignmouth
      @BillsPhoneTeignmouth  2 месяца назад +1

      Yes, dead cheeky that duck - A bit like the pigeons that were climbing over my feet to get to the pellets that had fallen out! 👍Glad you enjoyed it - I enjoyed my 'day out' too 👍 See you tomorrow 👍👍👍

    Just a thought Bill, I have my share of blues and regrets in this life, but watching your channel it reminds me that despite our societies pressure to attain and succeed and win the big prizes, it's the small things in life that often make it worthwhile. The simple things, the everyday beauty and interest that people often overlook because of the stress of modern life. There is art and beauty all around us, and obviously in our part of the world. I have a feeling that your channel inspires more people than you imagine. In a world gone mad what a comfort it is to have a sense of normality and community. By the way the bookshop in Queen Street, run by John and his wife, is really worth a visit, he's always up for a chat and has a good selection of books etc. Again, an oasis of calm in a mad world. Peace and mindfulness to you🙏🙏🙏🙏

      Aww thank you Simon - Lovely for you to say that. Yes, I always try to focus on the positive side of things. I didn't know that they owned the book shop - I will have to pop in next time I'm over that way 👍👍👍

      It really is a nice idea - Gets people into the town, gives you a fun family friendly activity to do, and all the while, its advertising the books, which are available along the way - A great idea 👍👍👍

      I have not done them as a video, like the dittos, but have filmed them as & when a new one appears as part of my walks. I follow the guy on Instagram, & more recently facebook, so I know the locations, so perhaps I'll do that in a future video 👍
