Farmland near Buntingford

A footpath to Park Farm Industrial Estate and Buntingford can be seen cutting diagonally across the fields in the photo. A Burdock stands out in the foreground. The flower heads distribute the seed by sticking to passing animals - great fun to throw at your friends clothes when you're a child.

St. Giles church, Wyddial, Herts.

This church stands near an old house and hardly anything else as there's not much of a village. The tower is the oldest part and the rest of the church has been in the hands of Victorian restorers.
