Indigo Dreaming on Dartmoor

Time to squeeze in a visit to Dartmoor before the days start drawing in ... 


... and here's Windy Post Cross on the Grimstone and Sortridge Leat, a favourite spot not that far from Cox Tor car park.


Though this isn't our collie, Cwtch, who rarely enters the water willingly.


No, it's Mist of Indigo Dreams Publishing ...



... and here's Ronnie, the poet for the silent. (And border collies.)


And in the distance, Dawn (Ronnie's partner in poetry), the Northerner and me, with Mist and Cwtch.


Staunch little Mist is the leat-lover, straight out of 'The Names of the Hare Border Collie', translated by Seamus Heaney.




'Won't catch me doing that!' says Cwtch, who's far more likely to be found photo-bombing, from the safety of the bank



Then, just as it started to rain, we were back at the cars and it was off to the Plume of Feathers in Princetown for some lunch. 



Can I help you with the leftovers?



Much fun was had. This event will be repeated.
