Oil Pressure

18C and decidedly sunny. Windy though. Restrictions on the Tay Road Bridge.

Maeve the Deerhound and I set off after lunch hoping to see some agricultural goings on in the fields near our house. As we turned the corner of our street and into the country road that runs by our house we saw a tractor pulling a trailer full of grain making its way up the road and away from us. We walked up by the old school and the church and as we approached the entrance to the field with the bridle path we heard and saw the combine harvester right next to us on the other side of the beech and hawthorn hedge. We walked in through the field entrance and grabbed a couple of shots.

We resumed our walk down the field where the bridle path is and in that field there was a tractor with a flatbed trailer loaded with bales of straw and a forklift vehicle gathering more bales two at a time. As we walked down the field, grabbing a shot or two as we went, we watched one man on top of the trailer of bales getting the strapping in place to tie the load in place. Waves were exchanged :-)

Very high tide today as we walked along the strip of beach towards the Fishermen's huts. Deep dry sand to plod through. Just little waves lapping the shore and in the narrow band of wet sand left as each wave pulled back lots of glistening Sea Glass was just waiting to be collected. Maeve had one or two little dances away from the incoming waves. She isn't a dog for swimming or even much for paddling.

No one at the huts. I had another go at finding instrument dials to blip on the tractors. The blip of the pressure gauge is one of the shots I took, and there are other pictures of the things we saw today on the overspill blog :-)

Two or three people to stop and chat with at the cottages as we walked away from the huts. It was very pleasant in the sun in the shelter of the cottages. All the fishing boats were bobbing at their moorings in the sunshine.

Later I had a yogurt and Maeve licked the lid :-)

Edit update: Just grabbed a snap of the combine going past in the field across the road. I popped it on the blog. Link as above :-)
