the mcintyres hit dartmoor

Whoo hoo! Here's proof that Sam Reeve and I CONQUERED Bonehill Rocks. We do good superhero poses. Photo by Stuart Stuart and I love Dartmoor, in deepest Devon, and when my parents came to visit, we absolutely had to show them a bit of it. Here's my mother; I love how she looks like some sort of Wild West cowgirl. Oo, and spooky, is that the Hound of the Baskervilles? No, it is a poodle. We still got a bit of sinister atmosphere, though. Good ol' Dartmoor. And, of course, aliens. Philip Reeve here is only slightly surprised. He wrote the Larklight trilogy and a Doctor Who story and now he is used to aliens. I love this shot of Sam by the lake. Hello, Philip! Hello, Sarah! The Reeves were awesome, letting so many McIntyres descend on them at once. Obligatory family shots: Dad and me, geeking out in the sunshine: Fat shaggy ponies! What bliss! Oo, is that an elf there, sketching in the mossy forest? Uh oh, broken pencil lead! I can really see where Philip gets his material for the Goblins books, that place is like walking into a story. Huge thanks to the Reeves for a fabulous stay! You can see a bunch more photos over in my Facebook album if you like...
