When you follow the lane past Saddington reservoir you climb a wooded hill and emerge above the village of Gumley.
On that high ground you will find the village cricket ground, which I blogged about nine years ago.
There was a match in progress, allowing me to show you the measures used to control traffic on the very minor road that crosses the field of play.
The way the ground blends into the open countryside, and the village war memorial beside it, give you the feeling that you are looking at a painting. It would fall halfway between the Symbolists and David Inshaw.
