Visit to The County

I had an opportunity to get down to The County for a brief but long overdue visit. Beautiful autumn weather continued to cooperate, making travel and outdoor activity far more enjoyable, including a run to the far back of The Farm.

The woods at the back have been encroaching and slowly making the tenth field smaller, so my uncle is taking out the venerable fence row between the ninth and tenth to make one larger and more useful field.

I say "larger" as these are standard ten acre fields in The County - whilst at home we are surrounded by a single field exceeding sixty acres. Of course the Wheatley area is much more flat and far less treed.

Once darkness fell, we also explored the barbeque and the deeper meaning of Kozel and goats.

We also managed to visit some friends and family further east, always nice to accomplish before the snow flies. The opportunity also arose to sample some local microbreweries, including MacKinnon Brothers in Bath, and County Road Brewing just outside Hillier, and a few others along the way.
