The air today is full – full of smells and sounds. Storm Francis hasn’t gone completely, so there is still wind moving the trees. But what is that disturbance? That is not the wind in the trees. “Clank! Crash!” A big tractor with a machine is cutting and tearing the hedge. There is a smell of cut bracken and crushed apples – there is an apple tree in the hedge. The road is a mess – cars should go slowly! Further along the road, the hedges are not cut and we can pick blackberries. There’s a loud sound of the wind turbine turning and the wind singing in the power lines. But this is not a sweet smell. What is this bad smell, this stink? Someone has ploughed the wheatfield and spread manure on it.
