The sky was an intense blue and the sun was out. We walked from Bigbury beach up along the Avon to Cockleridge Ham; it was nearly low tide and the river was heading towards the sea. The Ham is a big sandy bulge into the river; it's like being on a desert island. We slid into the river and let ourselves be carried downstream...it was total pleasure just being in the water, lying on our backs looking up at the solid blue sky, with the sun on our faces. Bliss. My ten year old son made a video - watch it here.

It's hard to believe that this is Devon in January. It made me want to get into that water .....almost.
Yes, we remarked to each other, while floating along looking up at the slab of blue sky above, that apart from the temperature of the water, it really did feel like a summer's day.......
