The Red Lion Inn, Bradley This looks a really special Inn from the outside, with the church in the background. Didn't have time to go in, so have put a link to Express & Star review.

Willow Shoots growing in Rows In this area there is considerable acreage of Willow plantations. The willow has been planted and allowed to grow, then cut off and loads of shoots have struck from the stumps, as can be seen. I wonder if they are used for basket making and craft work. Another example of a Farmer looking for more profitable crops, this area is quite wet so should suit the Willow.
