Lane, Dedham |

The rape field was just coming into flower,
but it was still a dappled green for the most part, as was the lane itself! |

The walk along the Black Brook
towards Boxhouse Lane passes some pleasant stretches of water; the centre
shot has a Monk's Farm as a backdrop. |

Three views of the airfield in
evening light; the airfield memorial, which is shortly to receive a

The airfield with two photos of
the memorial plaque, and the burgeoning buildings of 'Appleby's' in the
distance. The grass alongside the main runway was allowed to grow - and has
now been cut and is drying ... |

The airfield still offers huge
expanses of sky in every view; here of the track leading to Dove Farm
(left), the perimeter track near to the footpath gap that leads to Langham
Lodge (centre) and a view from that gap of Severalls industrial estate -
Colchester looming on the horizon! |

The new crop in the village is
onions, now increasing in volume under the barrage of rain that has
characterised the summer of late .. no need for much in the way of
irrigation, but it is waiting in the wings! These are the fields either side
of Hundred Lane. |

Floral activity in Chapel Road,

well against the back weatherboarding at 'Gate House'. On the right is a

The industrial area in School
Road; there are hopes the footpath issue here (providing a continuous
footway to and from the school) might soon be resolved on the northern side
of the road. |

Following a site visit by Mr
Maplestone, from the County Council, and parish councillors - we have a
result! A new drain installed in the always-flooded roadway outside the
Primary School.

This photo is going to be part
of a new page of images, in which firms use signs that say what they do - in
geographical terms .. in this case infrastructure! |

The village sign looking good,
but it does have a lop-sided appearance in one direction ... which, in turn,
makes any photograph of it appear odd! |
The entrance to Alefounders. |
