|

The rape field was just coming into flower, but it was still a dappled green for the most part, as was the lane itself! |

The airfield with two photos of the memorial plaque, and the burgeoning buildings of 'Appleby's' in the distance. The grass alongside the main runway was allowed to grow - and has now been cut and is drying ... |

The airfield still offers huge expanses of sky in every view; here of the track leading to Dove Farm (left), the perimeter track near to the footpath gap that leads to Langham Lodge (centre) and a view from that gap of Severalls industrial estate - Colchester looming on the horizon! |

The new crop in the village is onions, now increasing in volume under the barrage of rain that has characterised the summer of late .. no need for much in the way of irrigation, but it is waiting in the wings! These are the fields either side of Hundred Lane. |

The industrial area in School Road; there are hopes the footpath issue here (providing a continuous footway to and from the school) might soon be resolved on the northern side of the road. |

Following a site visit by Mr Maplestone, from the County Council, and parish councillors - we have a result! A new drain installed in the always-flooded roadway outside the Primary School.

This photo is going to be part of a new page of images, in which firms use signs that say what they do - in geographical terms .. in this case infrastructure! |

The village sign looking good, but it does have a lop-sided appearance in one direction ... which, in turn, makes any photograph of it appear odd! |
The entrance to Alefounders. |
