As many of you might know High Horse is where Clive and Tricia bought a large piece of land 6 years ago and started their dream house project.  The house is virtually complete and is built on a ridge 2,300 feet up from Redwood Valley.

Clive has sent me photos over the years but they never did it justice.

I was treated to a drive round the main points of interest and they will feature over the coming days. What I can say is Jane would love it here. There are a myriad of dragonflies over one of the ponds and a large turkey vulture was riding the updraft just below where I was standing on the patio. It is truly beautiful.

And a night in the wilderness wouldn't be complete without sitting around a campfire. <a href="http://pigyard.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/wp-1466918782209.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-3535" src="http://pigyard.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/wp-1466918782209-200x150.jpg" alt="wp-1466918782209.jpg" width="200" height="150" /></a>Clive just loves to burn the never-ending supply of wood.

As I lie in bed writing this the crickets outside are stridulating very noisily but a very calming sound.

Because it is so wonderful and I know Jane would have been so excited to be here I've shed many tears this evening. Why couldn't she be here too? I miss her.
