WW 17th December 2025


The evenings are drawing out - allegedly. Not much sign of it this evening.

Very dark and wet to set out from Tamar Trails - just one dog walker packing up to go home. Everywhere completely awash which makes it all look very clean - that and all the arsenic. No sound of an owl, just as well as a tiny mouse scurried out of the torchlight. Round the tramway to the calciners and up to seek out what must be one of the very best swings. Round and down on the very familiar trail. And back. A nice, properly wet evening to be there.

Next week the whole day will be drawing out, hopefully a nice cold, clear, dry winter to come.

You really do have to be there ...
