Floral delights in field at Mill Street

The summer of 1996 will be forever remembered by me as the year of red poppies. They seemed to be everywhere and lasted for many weeks.

It is 10 years since I took this photograph. I remember standing on the village green, and there was an inn close to this village sign

Roadside unattended jam stall, Stoke by Nayland

Do retail outlets get any smaller? Outside a house in the narrow lane of Scotland Street, Stoke by Nayland, were two chairs holding homemade jam and chutney. We put our £2 in the honesty box for a jar of chutney, and found it excellent. The labels from "Jam Today!" gave us an email address and phone number for ordering more.

Beware of the bull - by the River Box

Where the public footpath left Scotland Street, near Stoke by Nayland, was a notice. "Beware of the bull - it's the black one. The cows are placid, but you can divert from the footpath if you prefer to avoid them."

Footpath and hedges, Polstead

The path has been fenced off from the field. Young trees have been planted along the fence, and will eventually form a hedge. The hedge on the left includes wild roses, their fruit shown in TL9937 : Rosehips in hedge, near Polstead. The tree at the end of the footpath is a sweet chestnut.
