The highest part of Blacka Moor has been given over to sheep grazing for some time. Just for the last two weeks the sheep have been absent. Soon they will doubtless reappear with scores of lambs suitably daubed with a tasteless shade of dye. It is a blessing for the moment to be able to walk untroubled by their insistent bleatings and the ever present feeling that the place is set aside for agricultural priorities. More of this anon.
