New Year ... a few days in

as well as living in the English countryside we also have a whole load of American neighbours! ( apologies to all friends and blog watchers from across the water\! ) about a half a mile out of the village is a US airbase RAF Croughton - a listening station so no planes...so there are a vast number of large and wide cars driving around the narrow country lanes and over the Christmas break when the wind was in the right direction something spooky happened...at 4pm every day - they play what sounds like the last post, followed by the British National Anthem followed by the US National anthem...playing out as loud as you like ...do you think they are all standing to attention...

Quiet country lane ...
more of the same...
Can you see what look like large pumpkins in the background - this is the airbase in the distance..
