Photo of a stone barn with a red iron roof nestled between stands of veteran deciduous trees (sycamore and oak I think). In the foreground is an enclosure which in spring is a carpet of bluebells but is now dusted with snow. A half buried granite boulder and other smaller boulders lie in the centre. Behind the barn the moorland rises up to a granite tor on the skyline, the rocky slopes also dusted in snow. The sky is bright blue with fluffy white clouds, thickening on the left.

I was headed out to do the food shopping earlier but saw there’d been another dusting of snow on the moor and I had boots in the car so…
I passed the sledging hordes on Haytor and went to my happy place, the solitude of Emsworthy Mire nature reserve. Only a smattering of the white stuff but still pretty.
Not having my camera I obviously had the most magical wildlife encounters. Treecreepers, goldcrests and a beautiful fox!
Now to food shopping, in my muddy jeans.
