A picture to make the Pickled Egg Pylon Spotters Club happy, and the more keen members might want to work out where it is from its location data plate :-D
A pylon, today - own work

In the field behind the pylon was some sheeps - don't know what make or model they are, any ideas ? Brown body and white(ish) head.

And a picture postcard view - if you like barbed wire - from today's pottering through the Sussex countryside.

Saw a few of these and thought they were abandoned rubbish a first, most kicked to pieces.

Bloody fly tippers, this was only a small amount of discarded stuff near the A1

I have cherry trees outside the house, also sycamore trees that deluge us with spinny-jinnys around this time of year.
On my walk home today I was lots of spinn-jinneys. The sycamores outside mine have turned into cherry, or something similar, trees. Loaded with berries now.
There were no cherries this year, the birds ate 'em all before they matured.
I have photo's but on another camera, upstairs.

Took my workings out for the pylon question over to the Trivia Investigation Thread with a conclusion here

Herdwick's was my guess as well, but only because I only know of two makes of sheep.... and I know they aren't Southdowns :)

I used to live in Beckley, which is within 10 miles of Rye (where I went to high school). Camber Sands is where they filmed "Carry On Follow That Camel".

We, CSMA NWL Local Group, had a Ford sponsored 4 day car trial weekend at Camber Sands in the 80's when I got the loan of a Sierra 4x4 for the trip, we swapped various models between our group of 8 during the weekend and gave them all a good thrashing around the Marsh roads!! :-D

So the Dacia Spring was very successful in Romania, basically they sold everything that they could produce, so this is quite a popular car around here. The cheapest version could be had, including the incentives, for about 8000 euro VAT included. The "aftermarket" additions, however, are impressive:
