Westend Farmland Farmland to the south of Bramfield.  The oak tree in the foreground has fully developed acorns.  Beyond the near boundary, the field has a new crop, possibly winter wheat, growing.   The small dot near the centre of the photo is a pair of joggers on the bridleway that cuts diagonally across the field.
