Harry whacks a box with a stick
Closed-Down Shops, Hedgehogs and Chamomile, Brome and Diss - 2nd August 2020
It's harvest all round as the 100-acre wheat field is harvested and baled in just one night, then it's the turn of the chamomile in the side field. Later, a hedgehog makes a daylight visit - it looks like it might have been hit by a combine as there's a bit of blood and it looks quite thin, so we feed it some of Boris's 11+ Whiskas, a.k.a. "food for ancient cats", which it hoovers up. It's spotted again later and seems to have recovered.

The back field has been harvested overnight
Even the bales were taken away in the same night
Harry keeps on whacking
Mere's mouth in Diss
People look out over the Mere
The toilets are all scaffolded up
Mere Street looks busy enough
The former Beales shop is now deserted
Another casualty of the internet and lockdown
Carphone Warehouse has moved online too
Another closed-up shop
Meanwhile, Myhill's Pet and Garden seems unchanged
A slightly-injured hedgehog appears in the garden
Isobel takes a photo of the hog
We give it some cat food, which cheers it up no end
Harry has a close-up look
Harry runs around
Fred and Boris - stripey cat
Fred gives Boris a tickle
The Oaksmere's crows head off on an evening flight
Boris has stuff on his head
Fred points to 'stuff on my cat'
Fred plays some guitar
Boris has a sleep after all the excitement
Harry has a paper plane
The trees across the side field
The venerable walnut tree is lit up
Birds like wires
Boris is out on the field
The boys run around the chamomile field
The chanmomile has had its first hair cut
The boys collect some of the left-over chamomile
