It is amusing to have city visitors to fine tune your eye to things which might otherwise be taken as everyday normality. Whilst out for a walk our visitors were fascinated to see our darling friend from the farm out for a stroll with her pet. This little girl is such a dear with all her animals. We thought nothing of seeing her coming down the lane with her pram and the latest orphaned baby! Our visitors were as disturbed and perplexed as the beautiful boy might be if he were ever to watch an episode of Dr Who!
We also visited a very fine art exhibition in a farm yard down another lane. Outstanding and challenging pieces of art are always more fun with children. They comment in such a loud and unguarded way...!We have a new biscuits cutter which had to be tried out. It's actually a PlayDoh cutter but we liked it very much!
And imagine the dust this vehicle kicks up as it passes the bedroom window! As this is the guest room it was sad that our visitors had returned home, they would have loved to see the harvest in the back field! I wish you could smell this photo. There is nothing so delicious as the smell of sun soaked, fresh cut straw to make you realise summer is nearly over and autumn is just around the corner! The straw dust all over the bed linen I had just hung out is an extra reminder I could do without!
As part of my 12 month project (see it on my Flickr) I took my August 'View from Here' just this morning.
It took the Combine Harvester just 50 minutes to cut the whole 10 acre field.
So we decided to join in and finally get the top lawn under control ready for September revels.
Fresh cut straw and fresh mown grass. MMmmm. Shine on Harvest Moon.

RR that duck made me laugh out loud! The little girl is a true British Eccentric in the making! t.x
C&C Thank-you! I would never have known but I emptied my cache and sure enough - pictures all gone! I have rebuilt the post! t.xx
We spoke to a farmer whilst we were buying our fish - and he told up of the fields he had harvested - with more to do Saturday - perhaps I should have phoned and warned you!
Delightful photos as always
Its wonderful having visitors isn't it. I have surprise and unexpected visitors this weekend. Thank heavens for the freezer - and fresh eggs!

Lovely Frog! A whole new language! Are John Deere a prettier colour? I'd like pink machines in the field so it goes better with the decor! t.x
Hello Michelle, It is exciting to start to think about lighting the stove and staying indoors with some sewing! Especially with the cold wet summer we've had!! t.x
