Coup de Grass

These gently swaying grasses may not even exist after today, as along this peaceful lane will thunder several dozen rally cars.

The Jim Clark Rally passes the entrance to Crunklaw sometime this afternoon. I shall miss it all as I am working all day, but it promises to be spectacular.

The peace and quiet of this rural utopia will be shattered for an hour or so by the roaring machines, but by the time I return, all that shall remain to tell of their passing will be a few broken stalks along the roadside.
