Winter wheat and blackcurrants

My photograph, I think, shows lines of winter wheat in the foreground behind the out of focus hedge and blackcurrants beyond, on the hill slope in wider lines. Both of these crops are grown locally and I'm told the blackcurrants go to the bottling plant of Britain's favourite blackcurrant cordial a few miles away in Coleford.

A new place to live

My silence over the past several months has been due to us moving house, this time to Herefordshire and the area sometimes known as the Marches i.e. the buffer counties adjoining the border with Wales. So, the flatness of the Lincolnshire Fens is behind us and we now live in a an area of small cities (Hereford, Gloucester and Worcester), small towns and villages. The landscape is rolling hills and valleys with higher prominences, mainly pasture but with some arable and a lot of orchards and fruit growing. As ever, my photography will reflect where I live, but will be interspersed with images from farther afield.

Here is a low key start - a field of winter wheat by a wood at Eastnor, Herefordshire.
