Esso pipeline laying works on Lomer Farm The individual pipes are lying upon wooden cradles, known as 'skids', which are actually just four pieces of <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7173617">SU6126 : Timber used to support the pipes temporarily</a>. Later they will be welded together and supported upon piles of earth before burying.

Tree felling on Beacon Hill due to ash dieback Many ash trees in the Beauworth area have been felled if they were near public footpaths or highways. The branches and trunks when cut up do not look rotten. I sometimes wonder if it is the Ash dieback disease or human reaction to it that is more dangerous to Ash trees.
