I went up on to the South Downs near Rodmell last night.  It was a lovely evening, the warmest this year.  Found a couple of Geocaches too.  I was surprised to find three old “tankers” in a chalk pit above Northease.  I remember seeing them there about fifteen years ago, and they were still there now, all overgrown.  Quite why they are there, I am not too sure, and they probably need removing!  The last bit of the walk was through a field of Oilseed Rape, which was very yellow and had encroached onto the path somewhat!

I know a lot of people say that rape gives them hayfever, but I remember seeing somewhere it doesn’t, it’s actually another plant or crop which flowers at the same time, but isn’t as obvious as the rape, which is bright yellow so “must” be the reason!
