The new harvest in the village is onions, that has brought new and sophisticated machinery to bear .. and they are large - as seen by the meeting of a tractor/trailer and some parents waiting for the school bus. Only a very few fell off the trailers .. but they cooked up fine! |

I was surprised to see this collection of HGV's outside the industrial area in School Road, although I have since been informed that this occurrence is by no means irregular. |

I collected some flak from one worker for having the temerity to photograph the illegal and dangerous parking practices! |

The problem of connecting School Road with a continuous footway, is possibly going to be solved by a route along the north of the road opposite the industrial area. The crossing to the southern footway is planned to be exactly where the HGV's have been parking! |

Looking for details of building construction for the VDS report, the church proved a source of some interest. |

The porch on the south side of the church, and a nearby buttress, both had attractive textures. |

Church Farm has a wealth of details, including this, apparently modern, pargetting. |

The mellowing influence of an autumn sun plays upon the gate to Floral Dene.
The footpath to nowhere, from Park Lane into a ploughed field. Most walkers use the airfield perimeter track! |

Afternoon parking of parents collecting their children from the school extends well beyond the industrial area and makes School Road very problematical at this time. A solution to the walkway problem, enabling parents to park at the Community Centre, is pressing. |

The fight to save the Post Office is on! At a meeting of the RCCE in Chelmsford on Tuesday 30 October a number of local councillors and sub-postmasters learned how to couch protesting statements in the most effective way. Individual letters were urged - but all need to be based on hard facts, especially any difficulties in transport to alternative venues for these services.

A good deal of rubber was laid down probably by a van failing to negotiate the lethal off-junction at Langham Oak, who clearly went over the grass and took out the plastic direction indicator. |

Unfortunately, after Bonfire Night at the Community Centre field (and a very successful one at that!) and for the second year running, vandals attacked some of the fixtures left out overnight. Damage was worst to the sparkler equipment, and the fencing. |

The fire was used to ruin a section of fence and the circular, in yellow, light-bulb holder .. whilst the bulbs were thrown onto the tennis courts. |
