Clever Farm Creatures Sussed Out?

This sign has a double meaning. In my mind it means that the owners realise that their livestock have been sneaking out to the pub in the evening.

Morning light on fields at Cumberledge Park

This is the view right across the valley of the Endon Brook, with the brook, Caldon Canal and former railway line hidden in the dip beyond the nearest house. For a wider view in different light, see SJ9553 : Valley view at Denford.
