Laneside plant near Home Farm I have tried my best to identify it. My wife and I spotted plenty on our mid-July walk. I suspect it belongs to the thistle family. Beyond the laneside a farmer is turning the hay to assist drying.

Lambing by numbers This was the first time I've observed the practice of painting a unique number on each family of ewe and lambs to help match them up if they stray. This is ewe 101; the lambs did have the same number but didn't oblige to display that side for the camera.  In the next field I saw 154 looking for her lambs; they were  on the other side of a fence.
