There go the bales !

10.7C and very bright with some clouds and a light breeze.

Lovely day !

Maeve the Deerhound and I went for our walk after lunch. As we walked up towards the church I heard then saw a tractor coming over the blind summit by the church and down the road towards us. Another vehicle was following with a bale on each tine of its fork lift. I quickly got my camera out of the little bag I carry it in and blip !

The bales are the ones in yesterday's blip, now all collected up and leaving the field bare and ready for ploughing. Another tractor was ploughing in the next field. The fields belong to a big industrial sized farm company so I'm sure they'll soon be ploughed and sown. The field with the bridle path belongs to a smaller scale farm owned by a local farmer and it might be left as stubble all winter.

We walked on down the field with the bridle path and then down to the beach. There was only about a yard of soft sand to walk along as it was high tide. A very high tide. We walked along the field at the back of the beach instead until we reached a point where there was more beach to walk on.

The sea was very calm, but Maeve decided not to paddle. Instead we watched 'Valhalla VI' bobbing up and down at the mooring at the outer end of the channel through the rocks for a while before we walked on.
