British Summer Time is here and the prospect of hosepipe bans. Only joking, hopefully.

Torbay and South Devon has experienced its wettest period in decades and there is no sign of those showers letting up.
It's good news for our reservoirs as Torbay Weekly photographer Stephen Coombes found out as he snapped the brimming Avon Dam and some gushing river scenes nearby. But let's not forget the sunshine either - it peeped out for Stephen to show Buckfast Abbey in all its glory
All photography credits go to Stephen Coombes
