Love this idea, almost as good as thinking we may have come across a stash of money, but who needs it with views like this.
The heather almost brings a tear to my eye – ode to Tabitta

I’m sat here with my dogs and my dogs alone.
No one else anywhere. Can just hear the cars in the distance and little spots of rain as they land on the tin box lid. Time for dinner.
