If you’ve been a member for a while you may recognise Hay Tor on Dartmoor.
It’s a popular spot and easy for us to get to, so we like to visit it from time to time. On this occasion a bitterly cold wind was blowing, especially as we approached the tor itself, but it was great to blow the cobwebs away. Also, it gave me a bit of inspiration for a scene I was struggling with in my latest Devonshire Mystery. I was planning to locate a scene in Exeter, but while we marched around the rocks, it struck me as a wonderful place to set a confrontation between Dan and a suspect in his latest case.
There’s also a snap of my old music centre that I’ve recently fired up. In my teenage years I bought this from my grandad, and I’m sure he’d be pleased that it’s still going strong.
I hope you enjoy the photos.

Lottie wondering why she’s on a lead. The reason: she’s getting a bit old to go running madly down the hill, so we’re trying to protect her joints

What’s, no 8 track or didn’t you have those in your country?
8 track machines were a little before my time, I think. I knew of them, but I never got my hands on one. It was all about cassettes in my youth.
I think I just got called old! 8 tracks were from the mid 60’s to the early 80’s and I’m a mid 60’s girl so I remember them. Of course to copy music you really needed cassettes.
I wouldn’t dream of doing such a thing 🙂 I was born in the sixties, but I don’t recall seeing an 8 track. Then again, I am from a small town, so maybe they didn’t catch on in my circle.
May have been a more USA thing too!
Could be.
I like the way you captured the two little people at the left end of Hay Tor. They sort of continue the theme of the stone pillars.
Thanks. I liked the way the people gave a sense of scale.
