Old Walls Vineyard, Bishopsteignton, Devon

This is the tearoom that's got me blogging again! Sadly my computer is having a moment and I can't show you the gorgeous sunny photos of the delicious coffee cake and the thirst-quenching cup of tea. But to be honest, with the spectacular view over Devon coombes, green fields, thatch, swallow swooping overhead and the tiniest sea peep in the background they could serve sawdust. On a glorious day like today no one would care, the views and the general rural tranquility would be enough. And on the sunny hillside behind the cafe, the Devon vintage is beginning to ripen. Tiny pea-sized grapes will fill out and soon be ready for the locals to tread them barefoot into wine (I bet they don't do it like that these days). Oh I wish I could show you the pictures! Soon, soon! In the meantime, while the sun shines, seek the place out and enjoy.
