New hedge A change of ownership of this land has resulted in a desire to restore some of its previous appearance. Hedges were grubbed out in the 1960s and 1970s leading to an almost total loss of habita for birds and insects. This new hedge is to be welcomed.

Unloading while still harvesting No time to stop and unload so no time wasted. Unfortunately the constant t0-ing and fro-ing of a fleet of tractors and trailers used to transport the wheat from the field was disrupted and shortly after this picture was taken the combine harvester had an enforced 10 minute break.
