On Saturday I had to drop some provisions to my son. It was so hard to not give him a big hug & to stand 2 metres away, *sigh*

But we used the time to walk there with Lily & it was one of the clearest days... So clear, I could see Princetown!
Here& #39;s a thread of pics:

Here& #39;s Sheeps Tor. I have *never* seen it from this vantage point before. I couldn& #39;t believe it when I saw it!

We go there often, so next time I& #39;m taking the binos to see it I can make out this spot https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy">

Here& #39;s the Hemerdon tungsten mine, formerly owned by Wolf Minerals. If you zoom in, you can see the solar field. Currently, that sits on what was at the top of a wooded area where we used to do Easter egg hunts for our kids.

Here are the kids with the last haul in 2013 https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😢" title="Crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Crying face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥰" title="Smiling face with 3 hearts" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with 3 hearts">

The wood got ripped down the following year. I cried a lot.

Anyway, cartoon clouds & beautiful views were to be had! Drinking in the Dartmoor goodness without being able to get there https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Loudly crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Loudly crying face">

The tors on the left are ENORMOUS and are just past the Dartmoor Inn at Merrivale. Yup,nice been at the top of those too, but for the life of me I can& #39;t remember their names right now. It& #39;s also s good spot to watch sparrow murmurations

Here& #39;s a close up of a Palmerston folly: Eggbuckland Keep!

It was up for sale a little while ago, but sadly it went for slightly more than the 50p I could offer... https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Loudly crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Loudly crying face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy">

Popped down to see the final resting place of Sgt. Atwell, and the moon was looking fine in the clear blue sky https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥰" title="Smiling face with 3 hearts" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with 3 hearts">

It was HUGE! I mean, I realise the moon is naturally big... You know what I mean!

Anyway, the point of this thread: sometimes, you just have to take stock of what you have around you. Sometimes you just have to *see* the beauty that is there, but you just overlooked it because it& #39;s everyday noise to you.

Take notice of what you have, & rejoice in it xxx
