How is everyone doing? Stay strong. Be smart. And most of all, keep your distance. As promised, here is Chapter 1. I'm still working out the kinks, so the next post will most likely look different.

I've never been on a moor and very much felt like Jane Eyre trekking in the rain. Does it always rain on the moors? Seems to in… Continue reading Sheep, Spelt & a Medieval Church
I'm back in the UK and have been sharing pictures of my adventure(s) via twitter. As it's raining today, I thought I'd take the time to share several more.
