EVENING CHASING HAY BALES

Having seen these hay bales though it was about time i got to find them so off i went , weather was warm and i had put a fleece on and a gilet, Daft of me , with in a couple of minutes parking up and walking down the field i was covered in sweat shirt was wet through but i carried on down to were i though they where , they was but could get at them they was at the other side of the edge and no way was i going to crawl through that 

 

so i had a shot of the field i was standing in 

and was greeted by the sight of the red lady bird balloon coming over the hedge 

so moved to a better position and waited for it , but no it decided to drift off some where else

 So it was back to the car to find these hat bales

Found them after a drive round and a slog over the fields 

then the clouds rolled in but enjoyed the evening and a nice chat with the farmer who gave me permission to use the field 

thanks again for viewing my blog again

bye and take care
