I really enjoyed my previous visit to Tealham Moor. So I returned today early to catch the sunrise.

There is a small bridge called, Jack’s Drove Bridge, over the North Drain.  It is a beautiful spot for which the word drain should never be used.  I stood on the bridge for a couple of hours watching the sun rise.  It was such a bonus having missed the autumn equinox on top of Glastonbury Tor.

We have all been so lucky with the sun this October.  It has been warm again like summer.

I recently did a gravel cycle race around Somerset.  The route took us down the long droves that cross the moor.   It was so wet and muddy that I was exhausted after just a couple of miles.

Today they felt so different.

The moor is a series of rough fields.  No hedges, but there are lots of water filled ditches.

And finally…

There are lots of friendly animals on the moors.
