On Tuesday afternoon, I took advantage of the lovely sunny weather, and managed to get a flight from Compton Abbas to fly around the farm taking lots of pictures.  I have been trying to do this for several weeks, while the rape is in flower, but there have been very few fine days, or days when the airfield could fit me in.  The countryside looked utterly beautiful, and the bright yellow fields of rape make it look the most amazing patchwork, the rape stretches as far as you can see to the north, south and east, but there is very little to be seen down in the Vale, not surprisingly, still mostly grass country, as it should be!

Anyway, here is a small selection around Durweston.
