When you see the mess that is generated from "'improvements'' it is easy to feel a little disillusioned.
It helps if you have a strong vision, but its always a bit of a leap of faith, because theres always the possibility that some elements may not work.
At the moment, the leap of faith required is a big one, but luckily, as the following photo shows, it is possible to enjoy the whole process.
Meanwhile our daily walks are missing something. Usually at this time of the year we see lapwings trying to nest, and this year, apart from a small group spotted around 5 days ago, its all quiet. Too quiet.
The last years have been increasing hard for them, as they face an ever changing agricultural landscape.
Destruction is not always creative.
