Morning has broken

Outside the house of the suspected doggers, there is a discarded rubber glove and bits of of old tissue. Just down the road, the bronze nymph statue glints in the morning sun.

Next door at Mr and Mrs Champagne-Charlie's, the house martins are in and out, in and out, feeding their squealing young. Up in the the field, curious young heifers and steers creep up behind dog walkers and shout: 'Moo!'

All through the night, the tractors and trailers have been hard at work, trundling through the village with heavy loads of silage. They have been harvesting like ants, bringing in the silage before the rains come. A faint hum on the hillside - both in noise and smell - and lights like alien spaceships landing on Bluebell Hill.

The maize begins to shoot on its long journey to becoming higher than an elephant's eye.

Oh what a beautiful morning.

That's about it.

  2. Yes please - no idea of what a dogger might be, but I'm pretty sure it's not someone with a kennel and a pack of hounds.
