2011 : Wheat field near Marsh Farm Ripening well, will need rain soon or the yield will be down. May be too late already. No fun being a farmer, either too much rain or too little, too much sun or too little, but look on the bright side, if everything were perfect there would be nothing to moan about.

P.S. Shouldn't be rude about farmers, on the whole they are pleasant, helpful and fairly happy.

2011 : The road to Tockenham Seen from Bushton Crossroads.
Bushton is a somewhat scattered village, more a collection of hamlets really. One bit is on this road, the first house is just in sight, some more, including the pub, on the other side of the crossroads on the road to Clyffe Pypard and yet more to the north east on the road to Wootton Bassett. At the crossroads? Just a few fields.
