More about this scene

Reeds reach their full height in autumn, so reed cutting and stacking is done early in the next year so that the reeds dry throughout the summer. This is a characteristic scene: the reeds are stacked alongside old farmhouses and cottages waiting to be taken away by wide flat-bottomed craft such as wherries and barges. The beautiful bull-nosed touring car looks as if it could go in both directions at the same time!
