On top of Great Treffgarne Mountain The 'mountain' is in fact only barely a hillock, rising to a modest 531 ft / 162m above sea level, but it does offer some great all round views to the coast and inland. The Preseli Hills are on the horizon here.

Silage or haylage storage in a field near Upper North Hill farm I heard this long before I saw it - a silage stack under a large black sheet, roaring in the wind like a hovercraft engine or an idling and revving jet engine. It struggled like a trapped spirit in the underworld, throwing weird shapes one second resembling a bunch of black grapes, the next an old telephone, the next a huge black cab and so on.
