Hope

Here I am
at the end of the line

as I close the door
to the present
that is already past

I glance
at the future
that is today

and I wait
for Hope to come

Dunterton Church

This church tower sits on the hill in splendid isolation. I think it is near Dunterton (try the link on the title), on the way into Milton Abbot in Devon, but it is hard to be sure from the Cornish side of the Tamar.

Carthamartha

this is an ancient earthwork in Carthamartha woods in the bend of the Tamar where the Tamar and the Inny converge. It is very distinctive. Oil drum in foreground. I am not sure how Carthamartha came by its unusual name but the link goes to a site with a mine of useful information about Cornwall.

Uncle Max

Uncle Max is pleased to have found some snowdrops by the Tamar that have survived the recent flooding. We haven't been out much lately and it has been either very dull or very stormy.

aliens left behind

but it appears that some of the UFO's crew were left behind. Please take them back!

back to normality

the UFO has disappeared, one can understand why. This is the view from the bridge today.
