    Takes me back to my childhood days ..Open Fields ..stone walls..Hawthorn hedges for fences..Laying in the Wheat field looking up watching a Airplane go over...didn't see many back then...Wondering where they were going to...and would I ever go in one..but Country life was amazing...Following animal tacks on the snow...

    I would says this was made at a guess in about 1984. Lovely to see. Times don't change. I an in SE England too and I like the 80 year old go out into the garden and work there and nothing cheers you more than being in nature. I have given up fighting grey squirrels however as there are vast numbers and every year they eat or destroy 100% of the plums

    Sadly owners of Balcombe Estate invited oil drilling / fracking industry onto their estate in 2013, very controversial, huge protests.
