A storm is threatened

The morning about an hour before was bright and sunny but very windy. The wind brought in these very dark and threatening clouds over the fields at Pools Head.

A small group of houses on a road simply called the Plain. It is in Brailsford and will soon be in the village even more as there is a proposal to build a lot more houses.

Quite a lot of work has been carried out to the trees lining the drive as many large branches had been cut off.

An interesting wall

The brick wall in the middle distance is not straight but has two distinct curves. Whether this to act as a sun trap I do not know but it does face roughly SE.
