So it is a warm pleasant summer’s afternoon. The light is way too bright (it is mid afternoon on a summers days so what would you expect?). What else is there to do than just learn on the field gate, enjoy the breeze and talk to the cows? No? Maybe not but it was a really lovely summer’s afternoon and it felt like a rural idyll.

It was almost like a Merchant Ivory movie about August 1914. Then to top it all off I found a working telephone box with a post box. Strange things lurk in the valleys of east Leicestershire.
