I'm wondering why these sheep are taking up early positions beneath the wall. Perhaps there was a brisk northerly - I can't recall. If it was in preparation for a return of the previous day's hardly excessive heat, they're facing the wrong way. Anyway, this is the valley road through the rather scattered village, seen just north of the Black Horse, and the bus stop is just this side of the junction with Jubilee Hill on the right.
