View WNW from a point west of King's Buildings I was a little south of the marked bridleway when I took this photo. It's difficult to find and follow the bridleway. An obvious track cuts across the field to the south of it - so I followed that.

Farmland between the A29 and Houghton Forest I thought the birds in the distance added a little interest to this scene. This flinty soil is typical of that on the South Downs. Somewhere in the direction of the photo there's an antiquity marked as "The Mill Ball" on the OS Map. Apparently it's a "bowl barrow", but it doesn't appear in this shot.

Sydenham Cottage This cottage seemed unlived-in - which, I imagine, is unusual in a prosperous village like West Burton.

Wild garlic by the West Sussex Literary Trail There was an abundance of wild garlic (ramsons) hereabouts - though oddly you could hardly smell it. I guess the strength of the smell depends on the flowering stage that the plant has reached?
