"Our lawns around the house here will only max. 3 times a year mowed, but the grass is not yet so high and tight.
The cows stay in the stable the whole year, expect they are green farmers. ;-)"

"The field is by the River Trent Susanne and usully cows graze the grass but they have been shut up in yards all winter and will be let out soon probably next week so the farmer saves the grass to feed the cows all summer"

"Some information about the concrete barge on Winthorpe Lake.
The lake was opened in February 1937 by the Hull Water Transport Co. for the extraction of sand and gravel.
The two small rusting steel boats, which are on the opposite side of the lake to the concrete barge, were left there as in a graveyard.
The concrete barge was used as a lighter in the docks of Hull during WW2. Bombing had destroyed the docks and cargo ships so lighter barges were used temporary storage of the remaining cargo. Concrete was used in the manufacture of the barges as all steel was used in the war effort.
The barge was moored in Winthorpe Lake as it was unable to get any further in the River Trent. During a bad storm the barge broke its moorings and ran aground. It was then purposely holed to prevent any further movement."
