Red 'Harrows? Harvest is safely gathered in and a harrow has been left across the field gate to make vehicular access a little more difficult. On the horizon you can just make out the smoke trails of the Red Arrows doing a display at the Clacton Airshow. If you have very good eyes and you look to the right and slightly up from the trees at the edge of the frame you can see a tiny black smudge. This is one of the syncro pair of the display team. I was going to do a bit of "spotting" on the frame however when I zoomed in I realised it was not an aberration or dirt on the lens but a BAE Hawk.

Old Orchard by Lodge Lane I can guarantee the person who planted the apple trees in this orchard does not get headaches anymore! The crop is just begging to be turned into East Anglian style cider as I am fairly sure they are not cider apple trees.
