Easter Picnic

Scotch Eggs and Sweet Potatoes
These are hard-boiled eggs wrapped with sausage and they are really good. 

This is a field of Rape Seed Oil. This oil is used quite a bit  for cooking.  There are many  fields  all in blossom.
The hill in the background is called Roseberry Topping. Many people
hike up to the top.
