Friday evening, and a walk on the downs. We came across these two, supping on a nice juicy meal of cowpat that really was still as moist as when it was dropped; ah, the wonders of what once can do with a digital camera!

Morgan's Hill, at the edge of the Downs on the Devizes to Calne road has been a spot I've visited many times over the nearly 30 years that I've lived in Wiltshire. The old Roman road from Bath to London climbs from the valley of the river Avon near Calne almost straight up to the watershed, and in places you walk with a great view and drop on one side, and the nature reserve on the other. More pictures!

The Fair is in Devizes this weekend - they come twice a year, and being the Devizes Festival at the moment, it's a good time for them. Pictures - yes I took some there too on Friday evening; once again, the wonders of the digital cameraa! Pictures!
