Local farmer Mr. Lingham (perhaps the area's greatest unsung hero) and the Plantlife team at Ranscombe have done the ground work for this year's poppy display to take place in Nether Great Bottoms and Little Bottoms (better known as the crossroads in Southern valley) and it is now coming to fruition.
Previous blooms at Kitchen Field and Longhoes were spectacular and this year's show looks as if it will match them...
I think a lot of people take the work that Mr. Lingham does up at Ranscombe and indeed, all around the area, for granted.
The character of the countryside around Cuxton and Halling would be very different without him.
This year's display is even more colourful, with the yellows of buttercups and Rough Hawksbeard and the blues of the Vipers Bugloss and mallows providing a contrast to the sea of red poppies
