Lisa, Dad and I went out for a walk behind our home yesterday afternoon - the view above is from the fields, looking across to Snarleton Lane. The same sort of scene must repeat itself a thousand times across the land ... but it still has a certain beauty.

On the fields across towards Snowberry Lane, we saw evidence of the ridges and furrows from (?) medieval times - where the land had been strip cultivated:



A sign on the gate of the field talked of a planning application for 62 houses, and indeed the end of Snowberry Lane is a wide road that at present suddenly stops ... so it's very clearly a part of the plan. Indeed, I understand that there are some 750 housing units expected, so I suppose it will look like this:



But the countryside extends for miles; I'm not sure whether this particular picture is within the area planned for Melksham to expand, or without ... but there's several miles of country here before you get to Redstock or Bromham.
