I saw your post in the water vs. Coke thread, which seemed to get kind of lost in the passionate debate (which will happen occasionally!), and I wanted to say a formal "Welcome to the board!" We're glad to have you hear and look forward to hearing more about you as time goes on.
I visited Devon way back in 1974 and loved it. My parents and I stayed in a bed & breakfast in Ashburton, and I spent two happy days in a little bookshop behind a stationer's store in the town. I took home so many books that the customs people thought I was opening a book shop.
Beautiful county!
