There is a season



      The season of the combine harvester is fast approaching; the other day we heard the first sound of a combine at work way in the distance and before you knew it a field that was a crop of winter barley has been harvested, the barley straw all baled and gone for cattle fodder.
      Where has the barley gone? For malting locally or to the distilling industry?
      The harvesting of the barley seemed early to us but one of our farmer friends said, 'no, right on schedule and the weather co-operated too.'
      The seasons change and the colour of the fields is gradually changing from green to gold as the cereal crops ripen.
       Before you know it there'll be just the faintest whiff of autumn in the air.

    On the Costa del West Norfolk we've been eating toms for a couple of weeks now. I hate to say it but the leaves are getting a tired late summer look because of the fry weather. And I can hear combines again today, well along with the RAF and USAF! Two weeks to the big kick-off too. ATB, John

    It is frightening how quickly the seasons pass - just picked the last of the redcurrants, black currants and raspberries - it's all go! Can't believe the footy season is so close! TTFN Dickie
