Lynton...

The skies are leaden over Barnstaple. I spent the night in Lynton, and was hoping to visit the local cricket ground, in what’s called The Valley of Rocks. Not many cricket grounds have such a spectacular setting. I’d been online, to confirm there was a game today, and I was hoping to take some pix. Unfortunately, I woke up to unbroken cloud and steady rain. The fixtures secretary of the Lynton Cricket club no doubt cancelled the match about the time I settled on plan B: have a writing day.
