Aggregate Industries (AI) liveried 59005 Kenneth J Painter leads similarly adorned 59001 Yeoman Endeavour through Parton's Corner with 7A17 10.24 Merehead to Acton working. Amongst the consist are a number of Bardon JGAs which appeared on the Mendip routes for a while around this time (July 2014) having been absent from these parts since the early 90s.

Recently of course 001 Yeoman Endeavour has lost the AI colours in favour of a retro Foster Yeoman look timed to coincide with the 40th anniversary of the class 59 introduction, yes these two venerable machines and their various classmates have been plying their trade at this very location since Halley's Comet last passed this way. And 005?, well she currently retains the colour scheme seen here but it's surely only a matter of time before Heavy Haul decide to "Paint 'er".

The field to the right of frame is lower west field of Monksham Farm. The land here has, since the 1400s, been (until recently) continuously farmed by generations of the MacDonald family and in all that time they have worked the land exclusively as an arable farm. Sadly the most recent MacDonald decendent, a gentleman of advanced years by the name of Noel decided on a misguided effort to askew centuries of accumulated agronomic knowledge and adopt a policy of livestock farming.

Noel MacDonald's ill-advised change of tack was a disaster for Monksham, the main problem being that he simply failed to grasp the number and mix of animals required to create an effective economy of scale, a fact clearly evidenced just prior to the sale of the properties and land to a large farming conglomerate in a telling headcount of Monksham's livestock;
