Will Credit Crunch hit Salcombe?

This is an interesting thought from the only Vicar left in Salcombe:



There seems to be a technical hitch with Blogger so if you cant see the link above try this link: http://salcombevicar.blogspot.com/2008/09/city-bonuses.html

I know from a friend, who is pretty senior in one of the biggest estate agencies in London, that there has been a huge indflux of £1m+ properties hit the market this week!

Such a shame......or maybe not??

ECO Cemetery for Salcombe

If like me you are wondering what this is, have a read of this entry into the excellent Wikipedia.

After reading the Wikipedia entry I think this is a great idea. Graveyards are hugely personal but extremely depressing places. Imagine how much nicer a field of trees and shrubs would be compared to a field of gravestones.

I do wonder where in Salcombe this will be? Cliffhouse Gardens? Snapes Point? My first choice would be where the Christmas tree goes on Whitestrand closley followed by the sundial on Bolt Head.

More Rugby Players head for Salcombe and South Hams

Anyone who takes the Gazette will have seen that Will Greenwood popped up to Salcombe rugby club to enjoy some of their pre season training and also took a rucking session. He was also on Smalls Cove enjoying the 23 minutes of summer we had a few Saturdays ago!

The Saturday before, at the start of Town Regatta, England's greatest ever rugby player Martin Johnson had been on Millbay and ended up signing many autographs, but again managing to find an afternoon when the sun was out! Johnson has also been rumoured to have viewed a couple of estuary front houses on Curlew Drive in West Charleton and actually purchased one of the new barns at Charleton Grange, up behind the church.

Lawrence Dallaglio has apparently bought the house next door to the pub in Stoke Fleming (near Dartmouth).

Add to that our own Salcmobe grown Julian White and Sir Clive Woodward's Salcombe home and it's beginning to look like a rugby players retreat!
