Morning Grizzy, yes the photo from yesterday was very spooky, I was going to keep it until next October but I could not wait. The moon kept hiding in the fog or was it a mist coming up from the moors? And a cold chill was in the air as I waited patiently for the moon to reappear. You could feel the silence up there, it was so quiet. I was glad to get in the Goldrushcam Car and hear the engine as it started.
