just another morning here

I never seem to tire of taking pictures when we go up to Dartmoor … sorry if they’re as samey as ever. Dragged myself out of the house for a couple of hours because it was getting to the point where I would have been mightily cross if we hadn’t done something on such a beautiful day.

Had a lucky escape on the way up there; we were on the A38 (dual carriageway) when a car pulled out right in front of the Astra van Steve was overtaking. The one that pulled out didn’t even notice they’d done anything and carried on going, leaving the van trying to avoid it – and in doing so it span around right in front of us. Steve managed to avoid it too, but we ended up having pulled onto the central reservation in front of it, and it was behind us, facing the wrong way. Bit scary. Amazing that no-one went into the back of us, either. I was phoning the police when an unmarked police car pulled up behind, Steve gave them his name in case they need witnesses etc. Not sure what the end of the story was but just grateful that no-one was hurt, no real damage done, and we carried on our way.

We went up to Haytor, as Abbie wanted to go climbing Got just a couple of caches done, including an Earth Cache which is logged by taking a photo instead of actually finding something. Made a change! Ice creams at the end were a very good cure for my still-exceedingly sore throat.

Came home for a delicious roast dinner which is the first meal we’ve all felt like eating all week, so hopefully we’re finally getting better.
