Pause for Thought

Cycling back with the paper this morning, I happened to notice two farmers sitting alongside each other in an otherwise empty field, one on his quad bike, the other in his 4×4. They didn’t appear to be talking to each other or doing anything in particular, just staring ahead of them up the hillside. Perhaps they were waiting for something farming related to happen, or perhaps they were on their phones – but I like to think they were having just a quiet moment of reflection, each lost in his own thoughts, contemplating the landscape around them.
