The field behind us has been harvested – I love seeing the cycle of the seasons around us, even if it does signal the end of summer (or at least the beginning of the end). I found it quite funny looking down the garden to see Chas, taking washing off of the line, being dwarfed by a massive combine harvester on the other side of the fence.
Unfortunately I wasn’t quick enough with the camera to get Chas and the combine in the same photo. Last night was a harvest moon – the exceptionally bright seasonal full moon. I came home from work at 2.30am and the whole countryside was bathed in bright moonshine. I tried to take a photo of the moon with my compact camera without success. My SLR camera was in the study – fetching it would have disturbed the dogs, which would have disturbed Chas, and there is enough trouble in the world….


Technically we live in Oaktree House, but sadly the tree had to go.
We now have a thriving Oakstump at the front of the house.
