A garden full of tents The Olive Branch has crammed its small garden with a collection of pergola-style tents. Because the Covid-19 pandemic made trading indoors either forbidden or problematic. Perhaps when the regulations change tomorrow these will vanish. Or perhaps not. Maybe people will still want to dine like this.

Beech House Now an annex for The Olive Branch, this was a farmhouse. I used to deliver here, and getting a mobile shop into the yard and out again was a challenge because of a huge Beech Tree, over a yard in diameter. It&#039;s gone now.

The nameless stream

This is definitely a consequent stream, following the contours of the land it carved when so much larger in post-glacial times. It looks a little like a ditch, were it not for that profile following shape, and the asymmetric terrace. And yet, this stream, which feeds the lakes at Holywell Hall beyond Clipsham appears to have no name, at least on maps. Locals call it "the Clipsham Stream". It is both lovely and unloved at one and the same time.
