Rainy start with Dartmoor swirling mist – but by the time hit the river a window of sunshine opened revealing gleaming trees covered in cobwebs.

Magical morning at the river after a few days of heavy mist and rain. Lazy morning today with it being the weekend, result – a later visit to the river.

All quiet at the river this morning…suitably ‘cool’ and only disturbance my yampy puppy who has taken a liking to picking and eating blackberries. More confirmation in my mind that she is the reincarnation of the poisoned fox that I found and worked on this time last year.

Back in the river, which welcomed me with its usual ice embrace… more shocking after yesterday’s sea dip. Made me smile though; if rivers ‘do’ understand treachery then guess it took it’s revenge!
