Section through the Tamar Valley

[bunn]

On that walk I just posted about, there were many adits, and it was clear that the hillside was full of hidden tunnels.  So I decided to draw a cross-section through the walk.  I've uploaded the large version a bit larger than normal as there is quite a lot of small detail, although unfortunately the camera has lost focus a little at the edges so you may not be able to make out the gentleman taking a bath, whose job it is to ensure that the goblins don't get out and misbehave.

In other news, Ruggie went off to his new home yesterday, and I just got a happy email from his new owners saying he has settled in beautifully.   I'm sure he's much happier in a bungalow, and he clearly was delighted with his new Golden Retriever lady friends, who are so much easier for him to keep up with than the lurchers!

:-D I really like this! Who's that sleeping there below, and when will it stir? I was half expecting King Arthur or Francis Drake, but presumably they're resting elsewhere, somewhere with less risk of mine-related booming waking them early.

Do all places have gentlemen in baths whose job is to keep the goblins in? I would like to imagine one under our cliffs - but given the number of cliff-falls, I fear his bathroom would soon become embarrassingly exposed, and the goblins free to misbehave on the beaches below. We would also have a colony of troglodytic smugglers, who took refuge in a sea cave in 1765 and have been breeding there ever since, unaware of changes in the world outside.

Do you know, I have no idea? He just turned up.

I had drawn in a few shadowy goblin-shapes, and I was going to put a few more and maybe another engine or something in that top cavern, but instead I found myself drawing a bath with a person in it. In the original you can clearly see that the person is quite tall and has long hair. He (or she, I suppose) also has a library of red-spined books which are shelved under his raised bed-platform there.

:-D at the troglodytic smugglers. If I ever draw another, closer to the coast, the trogladyte smuggler colony will be a must!
