Blondes in High Places & Holiday Cottages & Fishing on a Hill-top!




There have been some ridiculous images of Gwyneth Paltrow splashed over the pages of some national newspapers and in the glossy gossip magazines at the tail end of last week. Admittedly this star looks great for her 35 years, but does she really need to go to such an extreme to court attention! Microscopic dresses and skirts maybe on her would be OK but this coupled with the current fashion of the rich and the famous for squeezing their bunion infested feet into the 7 inch high Christian Louboutin pumps. Well I'm sorry it looks very silly and very impossible. How in the hell do they walk in them? They don't - they get out of their limousine, totter a few yards to the restaurant or function of their choice, plump a table not too far from the Ladies Power room and get carried back to their waiting cars immediately relieving their red pounding feet of these monstroities!




Lovely are they not? What beautiful works of art? They should be at an average price of £600 a pair. 'You must be jealous', I hear you say. Well actually at nearly 45, naturally I wouldn't dream of it - clearly very silly. But in my twenties I was yet another natural leggy blonde standing 5ft 8 in my stocking feet and even then I wouldn't have endorsed them. Can you image people turning up at Newbarn Farm Self-catering Cottage (& Fishing) awkwardly removing themselves from their vehicle and then falling flat on their face, breaking an ankle and sending their precious Christian Louboutins to that cobblers in the sky! And what's more for £600 you could buy a week's Devon Fishing Holiday here, say for example next week a three bedroom luxury 4 STAR Holiday Cottage sleeping 6 would cost £570, fishing in Devon for one person for the week a mere £40.


Maybe the world of glitz and glamour really has sent Gwyneth into another realm of dizzy heights, but here high up on a hill-top at Newbarn Farm we have our feet placed firmly on the ground and will continue too in our quest to provide the best Fishing Holidays in Devon, the best self-catering Cottage & Fishing, just the best Fishing in Devon.

Um! How much were those shoes?
