Smallholding I like the look of this place; ponies in the field, geese flock on patrol, eclectic mix of architectural styles, recycling principles and good old fashioned hoarding. A man after my own heart operates here. Good luck to him.

Footpath stile between a stable and New Beaupre near Cowbridge Someone has been dumping grass cuttings and garden waste (branches, cuttings, foliage, rubbish) beside the footpath and stile here, not actually obstructing the path or stile, but certainly making using both pretty unpleasant. Presumably they do not welcome having walkers / strangers / non-locals traipsing past their property and are deterring anyone who does venture this way from returning.
