Construction Work

This is the view from Roe Corner looking towards Rhives Farm. It doesn't appear much different from a few days ago but, zooming in to the right across the field, there are signs....

....of construction work, and the old wall has been covered by an elongate mound of earth where the farmer has....

....dug a track along the top of the lower field. While the track gives him/her much better access to the two fields, the more distant construction work, we learned from the Highland Council Planning portal, is for a site for thirty caravans, camper vans or tents. This is well away from the path we normally follow so it won't really affect us, except that....

....one or two sections of our regular route down to the village will need a bit of time to recover - this is The Avenue.

Far be it from us to object to or resent development such as this - after all, we've just built a house on what was a farm field - but one can't help feeling a slight pang of sadness when it may affect the wildlife we so enjoy on our walks. And all these things are, I suppose, 'progress'.
