Yellow


No photos (or walks) on this grey, rainy day, but I have dug into the archives to bring you some evening canola-field shots from a couple of weeks ago.



 Here, they call it oilseed rape, and farmers in the Borders grow a lot of it.



Quite cheery, isn't it?

    VERY cheery! So exciting to see how the fields have progressed since January!

    I love to see fields full of it but it does make me sneeze - how about you?

    I buy an oil made from it, grown and processed a few miles from home. Cold-pressed rape seed oil is better than olive oil.

Hiya, and welcome! I know that with the proliferation of social media, it's not like the olden days of blogging, when we all spent loads of time hanging out in each other's comment boxes. And I know it's a drag to type anything more than a quick sentence on a smart phone. So THANK YOU for taking the time to say something here (and for visiting in the first place). I will always respond to you directly via email, if you supply an address.
