Unexplained landforms in the field are perhaps shelter for livestock. On the right, traffic on the M40; junction 13 is left of centre. The B4087 Tachbrook Road-Oakley Wood Road comes south from Leamington: a common sight is a funeral cortège heading for the Mid-Warwickshire Crematorium in Oakley Wood SP3059 : Mid Warwickshire Crematorium, South Chapel.

Glimpsed from the B4087 Oakley Wood Road; the northeastern edge is visible from the M40. The panels face south in rows running east-west. The land falls away to the northeast (right to left in the photo), from about 85m down to 75m. The site covers perhaps nine hectares.

Bluebells in Oakley Wood

After a very cold, snowy and wet start to the year, the bluebells have finally flowered. Spring is here at last.

Northbound M40, Warwickshire

The M40 Motorway runs for 89 miles, connecting the cities of London and Birmingham. The motorway was built in two sections. The original M40 which was built between 1967 and 1974 ran from London to Oxford, bypassing the congested A40. In the late 1980s and early 1990s it was extended to join the M42 at Solihull in order to provide an alternative to the M1/M6 route between London and Birmingham; the final section being opened in January 1991.
