In summer I can start the day watching sunrise between trees towards the North-East. Sometimes the sunrise is brighter than midday. Today, for the first day of a new month, we decided to walk a new route. We reached a crossroads and turned left downhill. How long is this narrow road? What is at the end? I can see the roofs of the houses in Ventongimps. That is a very old place - "Fentongempes" was mentioned in 1296. There's place nearby that was mentioned 1311, called "Funtonvaes". A house uses the name - Ventonvaes (though it is not that old!). The hedges are high, and they are full of honeysuckle. The scent is very sweet. Over there, on the hill, is an old mine engine house. West Chyverton Mine produced lead and silver (and a bit of zinc). Over 1000 people worked in it in times gone by. I'll write more tomorrow.
