When I last passed Ram Hall on the edge of Berkswell the ewes and lambs of the farm’s sheep herd were been shorn. Those which had already lost their wool were already back in the field.
The farm makes “Berkswell” cheese from unpasturised sheepsmilk.
Bunch of hawthorn berries at the start of the process of formation.
Two different types of daddy-long-legs (cranefly), insects which sometimes fly inside during the warmer months.
These both came inside on the same day.
Tiny pale flowers contrasting with the dark red of the leaves of this striking garden bush.
White bull calf under the shade of a chestnut tree on a sunny morning.
Poppies growing densely at the edge of a field of oilseed rape by the traffic lights at Himley.
For the past couple of years, there were hardly any poppies flowering in the field. Three years ago it was different.
