It's the Ta Da moment
I'm pleased with it. I prefer colourful.
Looks like it will be oilseed rape out in the back field this coming year - it is a bit early for sowing winter cereals. Haven't tractors got enormous lately? I think it has snuck up on us because the basic shape has stayed the same. When I think of Uncle Jack's little grey Fergie - the one he used for the jobs that were a bit much for Betty the horse to manage on her own.
Thanks Gill (and Clare Balding) the dragonfly was a Red Darter. Now we seriously don't need any more white butterflies, but we have been very short of the colourful ones this year.

Not many colourful butterflies here either - but happy to see a few Small Tortoiseshells along with a handful of Red Admirals and Peacocks in the past coupe of weeks.
Don't get me started on the size of agricultural machinery! Apart from the HUGE tractors with MONTROUS attachments which mean having to grub up sections of hedge to get the b*****s into the fields; we have to put up with GINORMOUS grain trucks which are totally impossible to pass down a Suffolk 'sunken-lane' and have turned our already lumpy rural road surfaces into potholed a car-wrecking mess!
There, I've got that off my chest (yes, a letter and photo has gone to the Parish Clerk).

Gosh, Jean, how are your lungs? We absolutely dread even the remote possibility of oilseed rape in the field at the end of our garden. We'd have to stay away from the house all the time it was in flower.
On the other hand, I like rapeseed oil a lot. My supermarket doesn't always have it, but I grab it when I see it. Seriously comparable to olive oil, in my opinion.
