Seen from the road to Cranmore. Cattle in the next field enjoy the new spring grass. Care must be taken to ensure they do not enjoy too much of it and suffer from the bloat, a condition in which fermentation gases build up in the stomach, usually painful, sometimes fatal if not treated. These gases are rich in methane, the condition should not be relieved in the presence of a naked flame or other source of ignition, the results can be explosive.
