Featured Photos April 07, 2024 – Barcelona part 2

A few more photos from our recent trip to Barcelona.

I hope you enjoy them.

We stayed near the Arc de Triomf, and the area around it and nearby park were both busy from dawn until dusk (and beyond). As you can see, the park was flat as a pancake, so we went for a few runs in the warm evenings – a treat compared to the hills of Devon. 

I’m not sure if these trees were suffering from the ongoing drought, or if they were meant to look like that

A detail from ...

Featured Photos March 30, 2024 – Barcelona

A change of scene is often very welcome, and you couldn’t get much more of a contrast between our quiet, tiny village and the restless hubbub of Barcelona.

It was warm, the people were friendly, the food was good, the architecture was stunning, and there was always, always, something going on.

Below are a few photos. I may post another batch soon, but I’m being very selective. I won’t bore you with the scores of photos I took.    

I hope you enjoy these glimpses of Barcelona.

Featured Photos March 10, 2024 – Lustleigh

The small Devon village of Lustleigh wasn’t the model for Embervale in the Devonshire Mysteries, but it conveys an idea of the kind of place I had in mind.

Thatched cottages, a friendly-looking pub, a small shop, a church and all surrounded by beautiful countryside.

Dan and Alan would love it here – especially the pub. 

I hope you enjoy these few photos.

Featured Photos February 28, 2024 – Parke

Spring is in the air.

Near the town of Bovey Tracey, Parke is the slightly confusing name of a house and estate.

Once privately owned, the house and estate belong to the National Trust, and the house is home to the headquarters of the Dartmoor National Park Authority.

The grounds have plenty of paths for walking, cycling and, of course, running. We’ve visited it many times, and there’s always something different to see.

I hope you enjoy the photos.

Featured Photos February 13, 2024 – Bovey Tracey

The nearby town of Bovey Tracey is often mentioned in the Devonshire Mysteries, so I thought I’d share a few photos to give you an idea of its leafy environs.

Generally shortened to one word, Bovey, and pronounced ‘Buvvy’, the town is an old one and still small, but it is an official town, complete with a mayor. I sometimes mention real-life issues in the books, and you’ll find Alan chuntering about the building of new houses. Bovey is a case in point. Quite a few of the surrounding fields are ...

A Snippet from the Upcoming Devonshire Detective Novel

The new crime series set in Devon is on its way.

Set in the 1990s, this isn’t an adventure for Dan and Alan since the duo would’ve been far too young to go chasing criminals. But this book will give a starring role to a character from the Devonshire Mysteries.

Tim Spiller, the world-weary detective inspector you’ve met before, is a fresh-faced detective constable starting his first job in CID. He’s done his time in uniform, but he’s ready to do some detective work, and he’s moved to Exeter to ta...
