I know many farmers see solar power sites as an eyesore. Truth be told, I did too, until we realized we could actually farm them. Here's a thread on how @kinburnsheep and I graze solar sites 1/many

Find a spot along our coast (you have plenty to choose from) and maybe settle down with a blanket and a hot drink to watch this spectacle. Hopefully the weather will behave! #Norfolkcoastdarkskies #darkskydiscoverysites #lovethenighttime

Please look after your dogs in this heat and keep them cool. And remember that wildlife may be stressed too so try not to disturb them.

Quick message to say it's #BrownTailedMoth #Caterpillar season along the #NationalTrail #NorfolkCoastPath. Do not disturb the tents & avoid the caterpillars, their hair is an irritant, which produces a lovely rash. Just see Trail Officer Ben's neck & don't ask him how it feels! – at Norwich, England
