Farmland, Froxfield In the foreground is pasture (cattle were congregated to my left) whereas across the valley are arable fields. The crop there had a very yellowy appearance which I can't explain. The low sun also shows up a crater. Maps don't give an explanation for that - it may be a old chalk-pit or possibly a bomb crater. There is a frosty strip alongside the A4.

The Somerset Hospital, Froxfield, Wiltshire The building straddles two squares but most of it is in this one. It dates to 1694 in the reign of King William III. Two years later the infamous 'window tax' was introduced, the effect of which can be seen in the facade of this building.

The shepherds hut I stayed in for one night was so warm and cosy, it was like staying in a giant wendy house. I would have liked face to face contact with the host, but I guess thats a "sign of the times" Beautiful view of the countryside.
