Gull Cottages, at the end of the track This line of uniform pink cottages in an isolated settlement sat snugly beside the track and behind a line of trees, all that separated them from the marshes and the north wind. Currently, the first in the row is to let, as advertised on the yellow notice.

Orchard no more Looking south from the edge of a small wood over a field that the Explorer map marks as orchard-land.  On this bleak mid-November day, it didn't give the impression of a friendly location for fruit-growing.
