Sunday afternoon in the fields.... (Part 2)

Back again...

This is Clare doing a spot of onion lifting. My and the missus do this every year. When the onions get harvested mechanically they leave quite a few onions laying about. That is where we come in. We come along with plastic bags and collect the left onions. You have to time it right though... They plow them under a week after harvest, so if you miss the harvest, they are gone. We managed to get two carrier bags full.


Dunno what this flower is but it is beautiful. This plant has these amazing seed pods. You can see one in the back ground. When you touch them the explode and scatter all the seeds all over the place. The smell pretty strong as well. At this place there were two varieties, pink and white...


This is Jay on the way back, he is getting a bit knackered here, tongue dragging the floor hahaha....


This was a bunch of poppy flowers by the side of a field of sugar beet. The colour of the picture doesn't do the actual flowers any favours, the real thing was very red and beautifully back-lit by the setting sun...


All in all, a nice walk and I think we are going the right way with Jay. We can't let him off yet but he getting used to us and is getting used to living indoors.

Some thing else, if you read about the kitchen disaster last wednesday, that is all sorted now, the 'old' kitchen has had its first few coats of paint and it is starting to look good. I'm getting the floor tiles this week so when the painting is done I'm gonna try my hand at floor tiling...

Cheerio,

Alex.
