Meneham Folk Village (Ecomusée) by Beausoleil
We went to visit the ecomusée at Meneham on a gorgeous day in autumn. The most fun building was a 17th-century coastguard’s cottage with stone roof tucked between two huge rocks. It was built to spy on the sea in the period when France and England were at war. The village behind is of a later date, built in part to house customs men trying to stop smuggling. Later, farmers moved in, but in the last century it all fell to ruin until it was turned into a folk museum. They have tourist information, local crafts, foods and beverages and a very nice restaurant that includes outdoor dining. There are walks along the shore and beautiful beaches.

My painting of a thatched house in Sandy Lane, Wiltshire by Beausoleil
We visited Sandy Lane on advice from our landlady. We told her we wanted to take pictures of thatched cottages for future paintings. She suggested this tiny village and nearly every house was thatched and lovingly cared for. Very picturesque. This is the first watercolor I did of Sandy Lane when we got home. It was juried into the local watercolor society's Open Show for this coming September. Very exciting.

Driving into Chipping Campden by Beausoleil
Chipping Campden is what is cheerfully known as a "chocolate box" town in the Cotswolds, i.e. it is pretty enough to decorate a souvenir box of chocolates. There are many thatched houses and the High Street is enchanting.

Thatched house in Poltimore by Beausoleil
You come round a bend in the road to this lovely view. We were quite lost at this point but having a grand time. Devonshire is a great place to get lost. We had maps and two GPS devices so weren't too worried, just having fun.

Thatched house in Broadclyst, Devon by Beausoleil
Broadclyst is largely owned by the National Trust as part of Killerton House and is beautifully kept. We were there looking for the Clyston Mill. Although the sign clearly said "Open today 1-5," it was quite closed at 4:45. We didn't visit . . .
