Sometimes there is a red kite or a green woodpecker. Today it was a pheasant. But more often it's a small flock of starlings or sparrows that provide the avian entertainment. In the summer months there are swallows. There's owls as well, but despite my best efforts I haven't seen them, only heard their cries on the wind. I've been collecting the sunrises over the fields. Which I suppose is also a way of collecting the sky. Big and open here in North Bucks. Soon the sky might be the only thing still visible to us if the plan to turn the fields into houses is approved. I think of it as my view, though it's not mine, I'm just an observer. An onlooker. Not a participant. The flocks of sparrows and starlings don't object to planning applications, though I'm sure they would given the chance.

The countryside is ‘for’ lots of things - but not all of them are easily measured in pounds or acres.

Winter time. Cold. Dark, and paradoxically, in these northern latitudes, a perfect opportunity to watch the warmth of a winter sunrise without having to rise too early. A run of cold clear weather means that most mornings a pinkish, orange light spreads across the cold dark fields, leaves fringed with frost reflect the sudden glare and for a moment the sky flames.

We've had so much help from family, friends and neighbours that it almost seems like a betrayal of their efforts to be moving on. But moving we are, to another part of the same village. One thing we have learnt is that Stewkley, Bucks feels very much like home.

Harvesting Over the last few weeks, dusk has been falling noticeably earlier, and as I've been riding home, up to the village, there are lights moving across the fields. Farmers working late to bring in the harvest. Later after I'm home and hosed, the combine harvesters noisily edge past our front door, heading back to the farms on the other side of the village. Today I spent some time working at the allotment, putting the effort in now for next year, preparing the ground. Sometimes you need to do some prep' and think of the future. Maybe this is the right time of year for making plans.
