Fields of wheat and barley stretch out, their colours shifting with the seasons, from the vibrant green of early growth to the golden hues of harvest. The air, particularly in the early morning, carries a clean, earthy scent, tinged with the faint sweetness of wildflowers that press close to the dusty verges of the roads. The sky above is vast and often a brilliant, unblemished blue, a canvas for the slow drift of white clouds.
