More moor

I give thanks for many things today. For waking up early and able enough to get up and out and in a taxi to the station. For a very scenic train ride (it's a very scenic line anyway but the churning sea and misty views made it more so). For a comfy cross country train to do it on instead of the ratty old local ones. For Jared meeting me and taking me on the most splendidly wooded drive from Exeter to Lynmouth (via a tea shop of course!) and for a trip on the cliff railway and chips then right back home to my flat. For pretty views and tasty snacks and happy chatter. For the funny signs we saw where people had amusingly altered existing ones in non permanent ways like chalk or paper print-outs attached. For the different weather we encountered...driving through drizzle at first then rain and hill fog but mild and pleasant and even sunny when we were out of the car on the other side of the golden hedged moor so we could see across the (much calmer) sea to Wales... and for the way the different stages of colour change and leaf fall on the trees made it seem as if we were going through a medley of different seasons on 'shuffle'.

I'm grateful to be home again now...cwtched up on the sofa dozy and cosy. Nothing to do for now but rest and think about my happy day...
