Massive Torch Lighting Up Our Bedroom

This is the display that He puts on every night, yet only those away from the cities can appreciate it. Barn Owl Farm was the perfect viewing point.

It was cold out, so Mike and I went back inside to warm up next to the fire and fell asleep watching the flames dance about….

They really looked after us and we came home with 6 free ‘free range’ eggs and a bag of lemons and some pomegranates. We headed home past picturesque landscape…
