Teignmouth Grand Pier & The Boathouse

Sorry for the lack of posts! I've had these photos on my laptop since we returned from Devon but I just haven't had the time to sit down and do a post. I'm saving up for my first car so I've jumped straight back into working over 60 hours a week again. I rewarded myself with a weekend of doing the bare minimum. Most of it has been spent chilling in my pjs with my hair up, drinking tea and listening to Alabama Shakes on repeat. (Watch this if you haven't come across them before! Those vocals, those guitars!) My feet have only now stopped aching, my legs muscles have loosened up again and I feel well rested, energised. Ready to do it all over again this week.

I've been reflecting back to our little holiday in Devon this weekend, and I've been wishing for more hazy days eating ice cream, watching the seagulls bathe in the rockpools as the trains whizzed past overhead.
Today on the blog I'm doing a little throwback post to when we visited beautiful Teignmouth and the loveliest nautical pub, the Boathouse in Dawlish Warren. It's going to be quite a photo heavy one!

I'm feeling pretty happy with how these pics turned out, but you really have to visit Teignmouth to see how pretty and whimsical it is in real life.
The pier was built in 1865 with the original purpose of allowing people to step off the Steamboats onto land. Teignmouth quickly became a popular holiday destination for Victorians and doctors in the big smoky cities even prescribed exhausted patients a trip to the seaside to help their ailments. I reckon they were onto something, breathing in fresh sea air and a dip on the cool salty sea water does wonders for the body and mind!
