Lenticular clouds over Lincolnshire

Back to Lincolnshire today, for lunch with one of my closest friends in Sleaford. We only manage to see each other a few times of year, but we're immediately in tune with each other, that special quality of true friendship. Before we knew it three hours had past and it was time to say goodbye.

I then drove on to the village of Asgarby and spent a couple of hours wandering along all its roads and tracks recording plants. I wasn't really expecting a high level of interest, but it was better than I'd anticipated, an encapsulated areas of old countryside with ridge-and furrow pasture, some fine old trees and many mature hedges. 

There was a warm, blustery wind the whole time I was  out,  which was creating a complex cloudscape, including a succession of lenticular clouds which are quite a rare sight in the English lowlands. They normally form in mountainous areas and when they form in the lowlands are the result of shear winds created by a front.
