Sunshine !

At last a sunny day, even though everything is very soggy still , it is still lovely to get out in the sunshine ! There is now some blossom out along the tramway as well as a few daffodils and primroses.
We are just waiting for the weather to improve to be able to get out and explore the Granite Tramway in more detail 

Love granite

Bovey Tracey Heritage Trust is really excited about this project which will inform and inspire our love of granite. Bovey Tracey's granite heritage has shaped the lives and work of the people who live here. Looking forward to some great granite walks!
