23rd June 2025 and despite the summer heat is still roasting the land, the forecast is for a most welcome strong cooling wind. Let’s kit up and catch those buses: two to take us to Brooke from whence we’ll wend our way via green lanes and farm tracks to Poringland and the bus home. It’s not a long walk, and it’s not taxing. Please join us

We’re away from the riverside pastures to where arable farming has a very long history. Two relics of a previous century 🔼🔽 and another that might be well on its way ⏬

Green lane or farmer’s track? What’s in a name when the trees are the same! 🔼🔽 ⏬

Wheat above 🔼🔽 canola below, and ⏬ then there’s the barley – and the clouds are gathering. Oops!

This truly is a green lane, i.e. a lane that wasn’t metalled back in the day, but left to go it’s own green way 🔼🔽 This ash tree is another relic of a former age, being a pollard, cut high to encourage new growth (for timber) above the reach of grazing cattle

That’s it, folks. We’re off for a drink in the nearby pub while we wait for a bus to take us home.
Hope you enjoyed. We did!

Those “tree tunnels” are so beautiful ❤️ They are drumming up visions of fairy’s or 18th century lore ..

In Italy it’s the same thing, green fields with riping wheat. Here we’ve had scorching temperatures, 38 to 40° celsius for the past three weeks. I hope it rains soon. Nice shots, Crispina.

Thank you, Eleanor. I think it’s the humidity gets me. I’m glistening even though I’m not exerting myself. That’s why a good breeze is so welcome
