That was great, thanks! I especially love how you describe what Dartmoor means to you, very touching.

Thank you very much!

I loved how you thought you saw Gnomon too!

It was one of those moments. Sometimes you see someone who looks a bit like someone you know, and others can half-see the likeness, but Alex and I were both fairly convinced If I hadn't known that there was no way whatsoever that Gnomon could have been there, I'd have gone to say hello! Alex's face was a picture when he spotted him, too, I'll remember that expression for a while

And Gnomon does have several siblings - you could perhaps check if it wasn't one of them.

Talking of Gnomon, J and I managed to be gnomons at Longleat.

Begging pardon?

They told the time, I imagine. Or else they leaned against a tree the entire time?

What's a leat?

And that is rather pretty land over there. Must admit.

Obvioiusly this isn't us, but here's a pic: http://flickr.com/photos/collingtons/105368585/ You stand in the middle, and your own shadow tells the time.

Is it just me or does that look like a very heavily-disguised Gnomon?

Nice hat either way!

Isn't that Badly Drawn Boy?

Not quite. It's just how Gnomon dresses up when he thinks no-one else is looking...

Should we be talking about someone who isn't 'here'?
