 I didn't pay attention to, or even realise what this was, until M pointed it out to me - a Second World War bunker preserved as a heritage site - but I very much like this picture I snapped through the car windscreen.

It feels to me a silent witness, its unlovely blackened appearance a reminder of the ugliness of war. I also like how the trees are bent by the wind against a bleak sky, and the incongruity of the cheerful yellow crops -

Across the road was a new discovery - a vegetable and fruit shop in a large warehouse on the property where they're grown -

Here, behind the tractor, the greenhouses for cultivation -

and here the apple orchards -

Obviously good quality, we ended up filling two large bags -

and the sprouts found their way to dinner this evening -
