August 17th – as I returned home that evening, I noticed that Green Lane in Walsall Wood was blocked by the farmer moving large trailers of fresh, sweet-scented bales of hay.

It reminded me of the advancing of the season, and of the fact that although I live in an urban area, I’m never far from the countryside.
