Till the cows come home

I took a walk last night in the countryside behind our house - the public footpath off he lane that runs between is as 404 and our neighbour at 404B. And here in the fields, the cows are grazing on Woollamore farm.



Over the hedges, the houses of Melksham Spa look our over the countryside of the Avon Valley; we live in one of these blocks, built nearly 200 years ago as lodging houses for visitors coming to the town to partake of the waters



Woollamore farm itself has organic accreditation, and the farmhouse itself is a listed building that's even older than our Spa house. Alas, the fields of the farm are scheduled for the development on the new George Ward school, so this walk and these pictures will be of historic interest in a few years.



And how did Mike and Tony - two PHP delegates - manage to sneak in here? Ah - this week's PHP course and we got on to image handling again! You can see what an interesting and varied week this has been - and a pleasure in all quarters.
