Taken a few miles east of Leicester, near Allexton. Its that time in the UK, just before the wheat gets harvested – heavy heads beginning to nod gently under the weight of the grain, and the weather unable to decide whether it is summer or not, threatening to flatten the crop, just it is ready. Leicestershire is full of distant horizons like this, and the Barley is all but in now, much of the ground already having been put under the plough in readiness for the next crop.

An impressionist view of an imagined countryside scene….I like the bright colours in this treatment. This was achieved by ‘Photoshopping’ a scan of one of my previous works, Bridge:

Barn Owl…..... With heart shaped face, buff back and wings and pure white under parts the barn owl is a distinctive and much loved countryside bird. Widely distributed across the UK, and indeed the world, the bird has suffered declines over the past fifty years as a result of the degradation of once prey-rich habitats in the face of intensive agricultural practices. This decline, fortunately, has halted in many areas and the population may now be increasing. / Where to see them Open country, along field edges, riverbanks and roadside verges. / When to see them All year round; during the day, but best at dusk. / What they eat Mice, voles and shrews

My idea of an idealised English Village Scene, exectured in oils on board. If anyone wonders about the title-it was an ‘ideal’ village in a 1960’s episode of ‘The Avengers’. Steed & Mrs Peel discovered that the whole village had gon into the contract elimination business! I hope my version is much more peacable!

A simple field of Barley stubble – I got there too late for the harvest….. The sun plays gently across the domain of the hare ( a rabbit like creature for those who do not know – bigger, with black tips to its ears ). Hares will make a small dimple in the ground and sit very still within them – you can almost stand on them sometimes, unseen, before they will move – and when they go, they go like the wind. However, hare have a habit – they run in big circles – these circles can be a mile or more across, but sure as eggs are eggs, they return to the same field, same spot, same dimple, sooner or later – Isn’t nature wonderful. Seeing a scene like this reminds me of a traditional folksong, superbly recorded by Dick Gaughan and others – The Creggan White Hare...... In the lowlands of Creggan there lives a white hare / As swift as a swallow as she flies through the air / You may travel the country, but none could compare / With the pride of the Creggan, that bonnie white hare One fine Sunday morning as you may suppose / A red, golden sun o’er the green mountain rose / Barney Conway came down and did loudly declare / “Today I’ll put an end to that Creggan white hare” So he searched through the lowlands and down through the glens / Among the green rushes where the white hare had dens / ‘Til at last coming over the bog-bank so bare / From behind a white thistle out jumped the white hare Well, he gave a great yelp and his dog, she slipped too / As swift as the wind o’er the green mountain flew / But the dogs soon came back, which made poor Barney sigh / For he knew that the white hair had bid him good-bye We have some jolly sportsmen down from the Pomroy / Cookstown, Dungannon and also the Moy / With pedigree greyhounds, they came from afar / Came down to the Creggan in their fine motor car ‘Twas down through the lowlands these huntsmen did go / To search for the white hare they tried high and low / ‘Til at last Barney Conway, as he came on its lair / Shouted out to the huntsmen, “Here lies the white hair” So they called in their greyhounds from off the green lea / And Barney and the huntsmen, they jumped high with glee / And on the turf bank they all gathered around / Seven men and nine dogs did the poor hare surround No wonder the poor puss did tremble with fear / She stood on her hind legs, she rose her big ear / She ris on her toes and with one gallant spring / Cleared over the greyhounds and broke through the ring Oh the chase, it went on, it was a beautiful view / As swift as the wind o’er the green mountain flew / But the pedigree greyhounds, they didn’t get far / They came back and went home in their fine motor car And now to conclude and to finish my rhyme / I hope you’ll excuse me for wasting your time / If there’s any amongst you in Carrickmore Fair / Drink a jolly good health to the Creggan white hare

The location is not far from Medbourne. Typical of the rural landscape of the county of Leicestershire, UK – scattered farms, gently rolling hills and wide sky. This is a factory. This is next years bread. Few people work the land now, and communities die as pretty villages become occupied by second home owners and absentee landlords who rarely get involved in village life. The average youngster cannot afford to buy back into the village, so leave for the work in towns. This is just an observation based on my own experiences, and I find it sad. But this is true across the whole of the UK, and something needs to be done to retain rural working communities. I do not have the answers…..but it doesn’t stop me asking the questions everywhere I go. I have this panorama at 50,000 pixels wide, 300 dpi, which approximates to just under 14ft long if someone can print it – big wall anyone? If so, bubblemail me if you want it that big.

Another of my views of an imagined England that probably never was. In a real cliche, but never the less pleasant dream, roses climb around the door of a stone cottage.
