Walking near East Stonefolds A farmyard has to be traversed. No problem as it turned out. My ninja lead scout assesses the lie of the land, the likely presence of a one-eyed farm dog, the restlessness of the native population and the nearest exit points as we approach. I relax in the resulting cocoon of ever vigilant protectiveness and follow along safe in the knowledge that the best nose in the business is constantly whiffling the wind in front of me, a pair of never-resting beady peepers are scanning windows, doors, gateways and cracks in fences for any attempt to repel boarders and we pass through like two shadows with barely a creak of boot leather, a scent of sweaty oxter and are soon through and approaching a second farmstead.
