Why is it harder to miss than hit?

There was an entry in the Guinness Book Of Records, years ago, which said that the most isolated tree in the world (in the middle of the Sahara, hundreds of miles from anywhere) was no longer there. It had been knocked flat by a French Army lorry.
The son of that driver is obviously alive and well and driving tractors in the Golden Valley as he managed to hit this pole which supplies our electricity. As you can see, it has been repaired but not until we'd been without any power at all for 17 hours and the the power surges before we were completely disconnected had fried one laptop computer, a DSL filter and our central heating!
The guy was ploughing with headlights at 7.30 in the evening and obviously couldn't see the cables and the pole. Hope he's not allowed on the road!
Everything is sorted now and we're warm again (2 days later)

The joys of country living!

Another terrific sunset

We are 500ft above sea level with a view that is 14 miles to Hay Bluff(that pointy bit). We get lots of amazing sunsets and I'd love to photograph them all but I'd run out memory(personal and computer).

Take a Guided Tour in Your Own Car!

The local tour guides association (with facilities help from BBC Hereford and Worcester) have produced a really good CD guide to the Golden Valley which recent guests have found both interesting and helpful. Our copy is available to our guests so you can start your tour a mile or so from Yew Tree House or at any point on the route and take as long or as short a time as you like visiting this beautiful area in the comfort of your own car. Ideal if you don't feel like walking!
