Very, very rare don't you know so little chance of actually finding them. But no! loads and loads of them down by the river, all along, hard not to step on them, really fantastic.
From Scrubtor on an April day when snow had fallen, out and along and down by Weir Cottage to The Great Leat and the Tamar. Lovely walking on a nice light evening with ransoms all around and then there they were. We were really, really excited to actually find them. And, as we followed on by the river they were absolutely everywhere - what a treat. After the weirs up some old, old steps and onto the trail. Out and up to the arsenic wastes to the calciners for a cuppa. Cloudy by now so we did not hold out much hope. Up the lane to the wonderful swing - probably the best swing in the world. And, as we gazed up from the swing, it shot across the sky right on time - Wow! Down and back by the contaminated pond and on to Chipshop. The Copper Penny was very quiet, welcoming and delightfully unimproved. A very exciting evening for our first walk in the light.
