Another day of clear skies and bright sunshine. The land around us used to be owned by one farmer but on his death was divided among his three sons. All of them are out ploughing this morning. Their tractors followed by flotillas of large, white, worm seeking gulls. Down by the heron pond a mini bus is disgorging a group of 'seasonal ' workers wrapped up in bobble hats and scarves. Two of the farming sons are barely on speaking terms due to some long festering dispute over a field boundary. The exact nature of the dispute remains 'vague' and quite possibly forgotten. The middle brother acts as an intermediary.
This mornings radio news well summed up by the presenter who says ' There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks when decades happen'.
Freshly baked scones in the farm shop.
Truffle and Rosemary crisps . Is this a flavour too far?

Having, in my corporate days, seen plenty of incompetence at all levels, I find much to agree with in that article, though statistics no doubt play a part also. The map will have to be constantly updated the way it's going! YAM xx
It looks deceptively cosy in the long grass with the sheep.
Most certainly the world needs a little humour right now. Loved the map, but will it give Trump acquisitive ideas about the rest of the world!
The sheep do look contented, but I feel sorry for the old Golden - I would have thrown the ball one more time.
I can hear the Japanese golfers laughing now. Why do they seem to take their golf game less seriously (and enjoy it more) than the Americans!
I, too, would have thrown the ball again.

I haven't thought of the Peter Principle in years, it used to be talked about a lot and then dropped from sight (at least my sight). I wonder why?. English crisps are often very good, but the flavors can be quite strained. I only eat the plain lightly salted kind myself, but my kids will try anything.
