Exmoor
I slept in until 7:45 this morning, I can’t remember the last time I did that, it was probably down to letting Toby out for a pee at 5:30. Not to very long ago that would be my sleep over and I’d just take the dogs for a walk, but now with Just old Toby apart from the occasional need to pee early doors there is no shifting him. I had to carry him back from a short walk yesterday morning as he’d seized up and went lame. Poor soul this is the same dog that climbed Blencathra and Helvellyn in full winter conditions from ground level, we certainly had adventures when he was younger. Anyway back to 7:45 and I looked out to see new snow was falling, so out with the camera’s. Wellies on I walked a couple of miles to Cleadon Hills to visit the ponies again, snapping on the way. I had no intension of taking the car as it was sliding all over the place on Friday went I visited the Dentist and has been on the drive ever since. My last car had Michelin Crossclimates fitted, they were great, but we swapped the Kia Ceed for a Nero in March. I intended to fit Crossclimates but never got round to it, so Tuesday it’s in for new tyres just when the snow will have melted. At least I’ll have the confidence to take the car into the wilds if we have further bad weather. The photo is probably the best of the morning, it would have been better if I hadn’t lost critical focus, but I love the action of the pony and the composition and I’ve already printed it to mount and sell at @TheWord and will be taking it in tomorrow.
