The ford at Tarrant Monkton, perfect for a morning cuppa.

Just over the hill is a field of very frisky heifers which had to be negotiated!

The Langton Arms pub, a watering hole unfortunately not yet open.

Lots of Blackthorne flowers, which give this cool period the name "Blackthorne Winter".

Two huge but very docile bulls.

The sun catches the shiny road after a short shower.
