Good afternoon Folks
It has cooled down considerably  but inside the house is still very warm,  hoping  to have rain.

Viktoria,  hope you get an outfit you like, dress in what you feel comfortable  with.

Gillg, pleased  to hear you are coming along nicely,  before you know it the time will have passed and you will be back to near normal but still taking  it easy.

Take care, keep cool.

Aggressive squirrel or squirrels in the garden. Lst week I had to but a new bird seed holder as the original which had been hanging on the pergola for the past three years had just about given up, not helped by said squirrels who knocked it off its hook and made a "forced entry" to get at the seed.
So a trip to the pet shop for a replacement. Three days it lasted and so another trip to the pet shop to get something, hopefully, a little stronger and more "squirrel proof"./
Picture shows the sad remains of the last one.

This might be quite a silly thing to ask, someone has asked me to come up with a team name  from these 3 surnames, anyone prepared to have a go just for fun,  sorry, no prizes

BRAGG, WELLARD  and CLARKE.

Hope they don't belong to RC.

Cooler today and the Professor was advising us this morning. By the time dinner is done the afternoon has usually gone, so a light lunch of buttered wholemeal toast and a tin of sardines, a drink of water, shorts on and a bottle of water to take and a local walk. I only got 200 yards before the knee support went on, but carried on.

Here are a few views.

Stroide Piece, Strod - Saxon for Marshy land, or Strudan - plundered.

"The Burrough" field is the other side of the fence (hiding a farm track) and the Wood in the distance is Bretts Wood, once a small Manor in its own right 100s of years ago.

The Burrough field gently rises to the middle and this is depicted as a raised piece with an earthwork on 3 sides on an OS Drawing of 1817.

I can't help but wonder if it was an ancient settlement. An Iron Age Terret was found in a nearby field and a Monus settlement with worked flints in fields less than half a mile away.

The area is historically criss crossed with public rights of way, even though some field boundaries were lost before the 1842 Tithe Map survey.
