Courgettes

Most of the plot is grass. The other bit has a few vegetables: today was a good day for courgettes.

Dragonfly.


This dragonfly flew past me when cycling by. It waited on a bush while I took a photograph.

Alton Barnes Airfield.


Alton Barnes was a wartime airfield although originally established as a relief landing ground in 1935. The remaining buildings are some gun posts, an air raid shelter and this building which housed the Link Trainer.

Three wheeler

A whitemetal kit from the secondhand bits box at a model railway exhibition. It took a bit of bending and filing to get it to fit together.  It would look good in green, very good in red, but will probably end up blue. Probably a three wheeler Morgan F4.

Alton Barnes & Alton Priors

Two churches a short walk apart in the Vale of Pewsey. Alton Barnes church is Saxon but is still younger than the yew tree in the church yard. They are overlooked by the Alton Barnes White Horse.

Blue Stilton

Blue Stilton from the market. Gentle, creamy and spreads like butter.
