Woke up on Dartmoor, packed up camp and headed back to Okehampton for a fry-up at the excellent station cafe. Popped in to visit Dad before heading back on a late train to London.

Got the train down to Okehampton, and was up on the moor not long after 2pm. Walked to White Moor Stone Circle and set up camp there for the night.

Chie again busy today, and Erika had more social engagements she needed to be taken to and from, so my afternoon was structured around that. I did get to pop to the heath for a bit inbetween.

Popped to the heath for ESW and snacks to mark the end of the working week. Later on back at home the usual bean throwing customs for Setsubun.

A much longer than usual perambulation on the heath this afternoon, including a foray up to Kenwood House to try and find some snowdrops, and a surprisingly nice sunset seen from atop Parliament Hill.
I made a total of two videos from this afternoon walk, first a slightly silly one looking for snowdrops:

Decided to go for a daytime stroll today, out in the Berkshire countryside, to revisit some old haunts - Goring and Streatley, then the beautiful Bell Inn at Aldworth.

Woke up on a chilly Scottish clifftop and was treated to an amazing sunrise while I packed up my tent. Went for a quick wander around Berwick in the morning, then spent most of the daytime getting back home to London, but happily wiled away the hours on the train editing my latest video.

A quick 24 hour trip up to the Scottish borders, train to Berwick-upon-Tweed then a Burns Night themed wild camp on the clifftops at St. Abb's Head. I had a really fantastic time, albeit a bit chilly the next morning!
Here's the video I made of the expedition, I'm rather proud of this one:

Popped out mid morning to buy a haggis for my upcoming camping trip. Just one random picture of some bags of popcorn outside a cinema.

I went to the Theatre this evening, to see a one-off play about Norman Balon, the former landlord of the Coach and Horses in Soho - kind of a follow on to Jeffrey Bernard is Unwell. To be honest the play wasn't that great, but I managed to get a box and that was nice.

Old work friend Gemma was briefly in town (she currently lives in the US), so we rounded up some of the usual suspects for a night out.

We haven't been to Wahaca since the one in Kentish Town closed, and Erika wanted to have their churros again. So for lunch we headed to the original one in Covent Garden. Afterwards the girls went to do some shopping and I headed to the heath.

Early evening visit to the heath. Later on in the evening we had another gallette des rois, and I got the "feve" (charm?) so wore the corresponding crown. Although it looked much better on Erika of course.

Got a new external hard drive to back up all the videos from my GoPro, and spent some time writing a script to do the backup and sort them into folders.
