Field entrance with hay bale turkey

A painted wood neck, head and tail feathers have been added to the bale, but nothing else is showing to give a clue where turkeys may be had, presumably for Christmas.

Stream by Mill Lane, Steep

The mill concerned, Steep Mill, a corn mill, used this stream and was upstream on the other side of the lane. There is now a picturesque waterfall where the mill used to be.
