of ocean between us and home.

letter. This: is our last night in
our sunny, sheltered . earner . in.
Devon •andwe are all packed up
. ready to .roll --• . if . taking down

Last 'week; we had two train
trips in . different directions. ` The
first was . ;to ; `Land's End. One
saying over here. is `going from
John O'Groat's ' " to Land's .: End'
and we, have . finally done" it. ; I
..;think it is ;a bit;, , over 070 miles
and it took us' -five. years. I. know
.;what 'a lot of you are saying; but.
we -don't care! We started out
early ' 'on . Monday morning — a:
crisp,. . frosty, sunny day. There
was 'still a lot of snow . a, . few
miles ' away on Dartmoor but
;non . here in the . south.. The rail-
way line, follows.' the winding.
' ;little-- river valleys. with . their .:red
soil :for many miles. There. were:
:;old stone churches 'on many hills.
• Many: trees ,are strangely cstort-
reminescent: of . theclutching
grees in Disney ` forests, , but the
spring buds are . beginning to:
• swell and., so many of the trees
wore skirts of evergreen, ; holly,,:
a lovely - sight with the'. blue,. blue
sky above.
We saw sign Posts Pointing to,
Kingbridge ant . later . on passed.
through Liskeard. Another. place
was . Par •and later , on . Hayle.
Other names were Lostwitliiel with
palms . on •: the ''station platform,
Trurowith a large Cathedral;
At '. Plymouth,. We saw ;..Iarge
Naval Dockyards : and: a number
of naval 'c raft at anchor. One .was
a ' carrier, We: crossed the: Tamar
River bridge very close to the
new Highway ;bridge, half as long::
and. ' half _ 'as _ high : 'as .the ' new'.
Forth Bridge . near-, ='.Edinburgh,`
And then we were in the 'Duchy.
of Cornwall .
You have • heard . me mention
the Devon hills and red soil. so
often. ` • I expected': Cornwall' to be
even more : hilly with steeper: grad-
ients and deeper valleys.': To my
surprise, the valleys seem to' wid-
en out and therewere vast ex-
panses of rolling •• country 'with
wideopen valleys.. The `;farther
west we ,went, the ' more open it
seemed and the sky was , a great
clear bowl • over all. .-'It was won-
derful! Cornwall ,.is subjectto
severe ; gales, usually westerly,
and ::the trees became' more a .and
more ' bent 'over untilthey were'
almost .horizontal, and finally
disappeared altogether Even ' the'
hedges were very sparse
But ' 'what the landscape lacked
in .trees, .it made up in. rocks.' The
fences -were stone walls— trem-
endous stones, .weighing tons, go-
ing up and down the hills. The
bareness: & greyness made:. the
• ' countryside' rather bleak and ' us -
