a couple of the new tenants

clear enough to see for miles, despite the clouds marching overhead

 

gentle textures and colours in a muted landscape

rippling fields in the fading light

relaxing in the heather

that sainted dog again, leading us on to a brighter future

some Blackface sheep - for variety

by a standing stone, as the day's light faded away
