Davey's Bridge
Ivybridge

The bracken has changed to brown as autumn marches on and 66121 heads the 6C12 10.29 Burngullow - Exeter Riverside sand train past  Daveys Bridge east of Ivybridge on the 15th October 2019 . After endless days of rain and grey clouds the sun managed to shine for some lengthy periods, except when I went to photo this and then the clouds joined together for half an hour  and even managed to deposit a bit of rain as if they haven't deposited more than the month's average already.

Regards, Clive. 

     You didn't need the sun - smashing picture - Many thanks.
