One of my favorite places ever is the moorland around Selworthy Beacon in UK’s lovely Exmoor. It takes some getting to but the sunsets are fabulous and, in the early evening, you could almost touch the tranquility.
Locals know about this spot and turn up every day, almost religiously, to sit and gaze at the sun going down but it has never really been cottoned on to by many tourists. so it retains it’s charm.
Needless to say, there is a very special bench located at a convenient spot for me to plant my rear end, unless somebody else gets there first, and it’s from this bench that I often enjoy the sunset.
Normally, the sunset is so awesome that people just enjoy the tranquility but recently I spotted a wonderful dog that must rank as one of my favorites ever and set me to chatting with it’s owner who was a very nice lady.
He was a bernese mountain dog called Humphrey. I wish I’d got a picture of Humphrey. If I see him again, I’ll try to be more brave and ask his owner if I can take one.
A good excuse, if ever I needed one, to spend more time seeking adventures on that particular bench.
Bye for now
