Escape to Combe "Martian"

At last the weather has broken to be come just 'cloudy'. Parracombe to Combe Martin walk: five hour round trip down to the sea from 400ft Exmoor (and back). It's been ten years since I was fit enough to do this. There are some killer hills.

Where I live... in Beatle's Yellow Submarine

I've had a frankly surreal couple of years including working in Gibraltar, coming back to Exmoor in the middle of a Winter apocalypse,
then driving my car from there to Gibraltar.. and then driving it back (via the Arctic Circle)

then I got a job in Whitehall
then I got a job at the Guardian

(and started this blog)

possibly the flat out wierdest thing of the lot,
was being told when I got back to Parracombe
by a local mystic/wasted teenager

that the village in Exmoor in which we both live, was featured very briefly in a montage of British holiday postcards in Beatles YELLOW SUBMARINE (see below)
