What do you miss seeing in the country side

[pawl]

I miss haystacks.Befor any one comments I don’t mean the wrestler

Layed hedges

Proper ditches. In my neck of most have become little more than depression in the road side verges.

Tractors that I can catch and pass.

Wildlife

A lot of birds.

Trams, bales you can lift.
Thrasher.

I see properly laid hedges now and then, and ditches (the ditches being on the Severn flood plain, which does flood now and then).

I'm struggling to think of things i saw in my youth that i don't see today. The hay never used to be plastic wrapped but were usually in a big roll rather than the traditional 'stack'.

What I wouldn't miss are files. Always get bitten and inhale flies on the lanes.

 

[slowmotion]

White dog poo.

Village shops and pubs. One of the joys of touring in my youth was the knowledge that between 12 and 3 o'clock every weekday I could get a pint just about anywhere.

I rember the haystacks being built.The bales were lifted to the top on a conveyer.and if memory serves the top was angled like a house roof and thatched to shed water.

I considered that but I just new someone would include it.

The only one of those things the OP quoted that we do not have here is Giant Haystacks ( the wrestler).

Scarecrows* outside themed village scarecrow events

* - proper scarecrows, like Worzel Gummidge (but without the talking / head swapping / Aunt Sally fixation), rather than a tatty old hiviz jacket stuck on a pole.

A couple of years ago i did notice some moles dangling from a barbed wire fence... i recall at the time thinking that i haven't seen that for a good few decades.
