The Poppy Field

........ I was in a particularly bad mood yesterday and rather grumpy because mum is being rather difficult, so to get a bit of me time I went off to find a poppy field that someone told me about last weekend.
The weather wasn’t great ( still showers) but at least it held off while I was out.
I wandered down the side of the field taking photos of it over the fence, wishing I could get into the field when I came across an open gate which looked as though it had been left open deliberately and there was nobody around.
I wandered along the side of the crops thoroughly enjoying the peace and the insects when a farmer appeared on a tractor and proceeded to give me a comprehensive telling off, threatening me with police and all sorts ....... apparently there was a ‘ no public access’ sign on the far side of the gate and I hadn’t seen it ....... I hadn’t done any harm but the farmer was absolutely furious, so I apologised profusely and got out as quickly as I could ....... needless to say I won’t ever return, so my ‘ me ‘ was completely ruined and I’m feeling a bit sorry for myself :-(

However, I got some ok photos ( see extras ) but the poppies were past their best really so not worth getting a telling off for ...... I think I’ll just stay at home in future :-/
