Lost in Thought

St Peters from above

I've taken advantage of the calm weather and the grass cutting session at the church yesterday to get a few overhead shots of St Peters. 

The idea is to mark out the no-mow areas where we are trying to encourage the wild flowers to grow.

You might be able to make out the two rectangular areas we are leaving at the moment - in the extra they are next to the red mower.  You might also see where we can cut in relatively straight lines and where it all gets a bit more abstract :-) 
The blue mower (in main) came from the local tip - someone was about to dump it when Tony thought we might be able to fix it .... one £9 choke control later and we have a small self drive mower which will go into the narrow sections the ride on won't reach. 

Normally I would say the drone (quadcopter) can't be heard once it is above ~30 metres,  with the ride on mower running, I could hardly hear it take off.
I don't think anyone walking by realised it was in the air - not even after speaking to me :-)
The Portaloo in the corner (extra) is there for the roofers working on the vestry - you can see their scaffold and walkway platform in the overhead.
