Footpath near Beeford

The farmer has done an excellent job in maintaining this footpath across this field north of the B1249 Beeford Road. I suspect the work is largely in vain, judging by the overgrown state of the access footbridge over the adjacent land drain.

Bus to Beeford

A bus heads along the B1249 Beeford Road at Dringhoe; the website of the bus operator must surely cause some confusion among those in search of street performers.
