Disintegrating tree In a field sandwiched between the A6 (from where this was taken) and the A590 running through the middle distance.  I think it's an ash.

Garden with hen house and shed This is at Two Acres Guest House.  Not so much a garden as a fenced-off section of a field.  Nice though as were the eggs for breakfast!

The Hare and Hounds Typical of a village pub that has survived this is more of a restaurant than a pub now.  I'd had a very pleasant meal here the previous evening and had had to return in order to retrieve my camera, which I'd left behind.
