We
were both born in West London but have adopted Devon as our spiritual home.
Leaving behind careers as a
Financial
Controller and Factory Manager
respectively (as well as the pollution of the M25 motorway!!), we wandered west
to Buckinghamshire, then Somerset until we fell in love with Devon and
Teignmouth in particular. We call it the beach, as its inhabitants were either
born here or have been washed up here from all walks of life.
We
are all here because we love the Town with two beaches, the Sea Beach on the
beautiful Lyme Bay and the Back Beach on the picturesque River Teign. Teignmouth
is a town that is confident in itself, realizing that there is a need to embrace
the modern world, but not to be swallowed up by it. It is a place at peace with
itself.
It is
known as the “Gem of South Devon” with good reason. It is also a beautiful
Ancient Port Town and still has a busy working Port today, thanks to having one
of the deepest estuaries in the country, very narrow, but very deep. Teignmouth
is a town that was founded on salt, a preservative, and we hope that such roots
will preserve the way of life here forever. |
