River light

Pardon the rather hackneyed scenery shots ... but the last couple of days have seen the bright, crisp, and calm high-pressure weather that brings out the Exe at Topsham at its most photogenic.

I'd have liked to have gone further afield, but unfortunately a few weeks before Christmas I caught a nasty respiratory virus that's left me with probable costochondritis (inflamed rib joints) from coughing. It's not dangerous, but it hurts to do just about anything; so I did the stereotypical thing around here and pottered along the Underway below the church wall (the place so liked by George Gissing), sat on a bench for a while, and pottered back. What an afternoon, though.
