Farming North Fife</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Much of North Fife is covered in rich productive arable land, farmed increasingly with use of sophisticated heavy plant and machinery. The capital costs of this gear is beyond the means of many farms and so need arises for contractors to do the work. Movement from farm to farm requires frequent use of the narrow rural roads, all very well until one meets such giants. A question of patience if following or long reverses to a safe place when confronted.<br />

Himalayan Balsam ,( Impatiens glandulifera ) </div>
<br />
Usually associated with river banks where it can grow in profusion. This little patch is by the roadside near Newburgh North Fife. Seeds were imported from India in 1839, now invasive and naturalized, distribution is discouraged. Each flower produces 100s of seeds which are propelled up to 4 meters away from the parent plant.<br />

Once part of one of the most important 18th century picturesque
landscapes in Scotland, an attractive woodland walk leads though
spectacularly large Douglas firs (including one of the tallest trees in
the country) to the amazing folly, Ossian’s Hall overlooking the Black
Linn waterfall.<br />
Follow in the footsteps of notable visitors of the
past including Wordsworth, Queen Victoria, Mendelssohn and Turner as
you wander around this magnificent designed landscape with it’s dramatic
natural features.<br />
Ossian Hall was refurbished in 2007 with
sliding panels, secret handle and mirrored artwork to recreate the
illusions of shock, surprise and amazement, the aims of its original
design.<br />
Enjoy the wildlife as you walk along the river Braan, with
the dark foaming pool and the spectacular Black Linn waterfall. Let
your imagination run wild as you admire the Totem pole, carved from a
Douglas Fir tree by a native Canadian from the Squamish Nation. Extend
your walk by linking in to one of the trails of the Dunkeld walks
network.<br />

I've taken this view hundreds of times, always different of course, the changing nature of light, water level and of the fields. Harvest is largely over, ploughing and sowing is in full swing advantaged by the clement weather. Today had a brisk westerly wind drying the remaining crops, noticed was a field of oilseed rape being combined, only potatoes and root vegetables remain.<br />

Of the few I spoke to, one was a
don't know due to being confused by the spin and debate and decided not
to vote at all. Others fell into both camps about 50 - 50 which if it
reflects the final outcome, half of us will be disappointed, half jubilant. Acceptance will be the order of the day.<br />

A dreich day that never the less enriches the colours in the local fields. Us too are being enriched by being mindfully involved in such an important transformation. I'm now off myself to submit my choice.<br />
Just back....the turn out at 7-45pm was 87%, amazing, the polling booths are open till 10-00pm. It will be higher.<br />

Who in their right mind would vote for more of the same. An opportunity for grass roots politics to organically emerge and grow into a new order of equality, fairness, shared prosperity, openness, to be fulfilled and happy.<br />

Straw bales with something to say, a tremendous energy abounds just about everywhere, in the villages, towns, cities, the islands, highlands & lowlands. There are signs/flags in fields, gardens, hanging out of windows, all over. A momentous time that is already shaking things up.A new order which ever way the vote goes. A catalyst for change for the better all over the UK or K. Ken?<br />
Friday, we will all know.

In the few minutes of taking these shots bumble bees were present too. Earlier blooms are now fully developed, the seeds of which provide us with additions to breads and salads.
