I came across this temporary CCTV installation on my walk across the fields this morning. Notice how blue the sky is.
Placed in a field next to tracks leading to isolated farms and a back way into Ferraris Country Hotel. Four solar-powered cameras pointing around the compass. Have there been recent burglaries or fly tipping? I am sure it’s not to watch the animals or ramblers. Further enquiries are needed.
I was out for a short brisk walk in the countryside behind my house, there had been overnight light snow which always gives a different atmosphere to the familiar, making the fells look higher and more majestic. There was a satisfying crunch underfoot, mine were the only footprints. Though there were prints of rabbits, hare, deer, and the odd bird who had passed by earlier. The snow was rapidly melting in the fields but compacting to an icy danger on the lanes.
The Bowland Fells.
Longridge Fell.
Soon I was heading up an icy Mile Lane back into the village for a bit of shopping.
The remaining snow had a rosy glow in tonight’s Turneresque sunset.

Crikey, more spies on poles! We have some around my neck of the woods, usually”protecting” posh country residences. I find them intimidating. Conspicuous wealth goes hand in hand with paranoia.
Spies on poles indeed – in rural Chipping Vale. I shan’t rest until I discover their providence.
Those cameras certainly look malevolent. Definitely spoiling the view.
They took me by surprise on my regular walk.
