It took a long time to identify the location of this view. The diary suggested that it would be in Monksilver, but a detailed search on streetview failed to provide a comparable view. Then looking at Geograph contributions, this view https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3414611suddenly looked right. The cottage on the right, and the more distant whitewashed one are clearly matches. The one in the centre no longer exists, and the two remaining ones have both had their thatched roofs replaced.
