Well hello Mouse, I’m afraid you’re going to have to join all your relocated Friends and Relations in the hay barn. You can keep the peanuts 😊

Nine Maidens stone circle near Belstone, Dartmoor. Otherwise known as Seventeen Brothers, though there are neither nine nor seventeen stones in the circle. Usual legend of maidens (or brothers) turned to stone for dancing on Sabbath, but this is a Bronze Age cist cairn

Now the leaves are gone (and the sky is grey) time to appreciate the weirdness of lichens. I can see Venus flytraps, strings of sausages, alien eye stalks and octopus tentacles
