Following my post about ridge and furrow a couple of days ago, I jut remembered this photo of the R&F fields at Lower Shuckborough, taken from the canal.
If only I'd set off earlier from Wigram's Turn Marina, where I'd spent the previous week. Early/mid morning in April is the best time to capture this scene. But you really need sheep grazing in the picture, since this helps to point out that this fossil of mediaeval ploughing methods is only preserved because of several centuries of non-stop grazing after the introduction of the Enclosures.
Eeyore,
How embarassing, I wanted to sound like Trevor Howard and I sounded ... well, ordinary!
Cheers
Andrew

Eeyore, any 'sense' I made would have been in your mind, not on the radio! :-)
Yes, it was me. In my own mind I want to sound like Trevor Howard, my ideal of what a man should sound like when he speaks. My sis reckoned it sounded like our father.
(Which hopefully art now in heaven.)

Nothing about Ridge and Furrow but, did I hear you naking wonderful sense on Radio 4 this evening at about 8.15pm?
