Vantage

Eyes don't usually get drawn towards the treeless pasture land, home to sheep and cows and their waste and the dismally chewed-over grass. But this morning from a distance the woolly mowers appeared to have grown tall and slim.
The stags, not so often found there, may have decided this morning's specially clear sunrise deserved an effort to climb for a good viewpoint. Ten minutes before, at 8.15, the very few who were up on Boxing Day morning were able to watch as the sun appeared - in our case just to the left of Chesterfield's crooked spire.
