Meet Arthur Ash. Sadly he had to be decapitated a few years ago as his limbs were not as strong as they used to be and he was becoming a liability.
When he was younger, I used to be able to walk right around him - there's a ditch on the far side, then the fence to the field. I had a little "gate" there where I could go into the field and wander. The ownership of the fields has changed since then and its mostly grazed by horses as part of a livery stables. They're not very good at maintaining their boundaries and the fields are getting smaller with the brambles taking over. I can't criticise because I've let them do the same here! Every year I try to clear them but never seem to win the battle completely. One day, maybe.
