Immersed in barley!

Sometimes a crop the farmer sows, then clears a line where the footpath goes across his field. Sometimes he leaves the crop to grow and thinks the walkers all will go across and trample down that bit, and so others the footpath’s track will know …

I didn't realise that the sunlight-induced sneezing was fairly common and had a name.

Thank you, Jenny. I hope you are coping in your wait. I was glad to be feeling up to this, and not far but a great little walk.. In that last picture my husband had climbed on top what seemed to be a funny earthwork on top of the ridge to get an...

I know you have written on these themes before. Are there any churches near to you. You would not have to converse much, most should understand if you indicate you'd rather not. You would need one where the preaching was Biblical and instructive...
