Fundstück der Woche

Bettina war in Devon/Cornwall unterwegs und brachte dieses Foto mit:


Da musste ich doch mal nachforschen:

"Beer East Devon , once famous for smuggling, reliant on fishing,and quarrying. The harbour is a natural cove, a suntrap sheltered from the prevailing westerly winds, with shingly beach nestling below the chalk cliffs. During the last century the fishermen's wives would work fine lace, so fine they were commissioned to produce Queen Victoria's wedding dress. Many miles of the surrounding Coast are an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and are part of the World Heritage Site the Jurassic Coast, stretching all the way from Exmouth in East Devon to Studland Bay in Dorset".
