Was woken by the birds so had a cuppa and went for a stroll around the farm. Blessed. 🙂

Looks lovely.

I was also woken by the birds, well Seagulls, only to find that they had left a message for me all over the cars.

Lovely. Out and about early, just briefly you have the world to yourself. In God's country too!

A beautiful morning indeed. After the recent 'one minute snow, another minute rain' performance I hope that we have more like this one to come.

I wish I had that . I was woken at 4.45am as three police cars and a police van was in hot pursuit of a what looked like a Vauxhall astra vxr

Was woken a few weeks ago by some seagull actually pecking hard and repeatedly at a , red, small car front bumper.
No idea what it was after , I did very nearly open window to hurl insults at the workmen for making a racket so early ( before 7 )

Nice one.

I was woken up this morning by someone banging on our bedroom window at 06.20hrs!

One of my sons said he had left his car & work keys...... let me in!!

JTaylor

Have been gardening since breakfast and this little chap's been keeping me company:





Off for a steak and pint in a bit with my pal (not the robin). Life's good!

JTaylor

Heaven on earth, mate.

Never covet as they say James,but I'm afraid I have cracked on this thread.Looks beautiful :-)

JTaylor

Cheers, Lawrence, hope you're well.

lozgti1

All good thank you .Your photos really made me smile

Hope all good with you

JTaylor

Good for you. I'm very well, thank you, although I lost my three year unbeaten run at the church quiz last night and to one of my close friends, so just a little sore. It went to a tiebreaker and he just pipped me. Wished him a happy Stars Wars day this morning though in a vain attempt to appear gracious in defeat.

lozgti1

Sounds like Christian eggheads! Do love a good quiz.Hope sun still shining there.Have a good one :-)

JTaylor

A light breakfast and left the farm on foot at about 5:40.



Across the bridge and in to the village.



Through the woods.

JTaylor

Towards the Priory.





The pointing on this barn's worse than ours!

JTaylor

Out for his morning stroll.





Still standing after more than 800 years.

JTaylor

The River Ewenny is particularly pleasant at this time of day.



Glorious!



A fine looking fellow.





And back home through the village for a cuppa and to draw up my plans for today's work in the garden. Carpe diem.

very Tranquil JT

and a fantastic morning here too

the view out from the Kitchen patio - 15 mins ago

(a little hotter and we can have the doors fully open!!!)





have my running shoes on, will go for a quick run around the village before starting work

JTaylor

Lovely, Hodgy! Fab willow! In the process of talking the missus in to letting me plant one. Enjoy your jog.

hodgy0_2

Hannah, my wife - always wanted a willow tree in the garden

JTaylor

Hodgy,

We may reposition the maple which is in the middle of the lawn and plant a willow there. Thanks to your pic' Lizzy's coming round.

hodgy0_2

I suppose the worry is they do dominate - and can leave a bot of lawn lacking in sunlight

some more of ours











we should probably take down the pine tree (but i sort of hate cutting down trees)

JTaylor

The willow's a beauty!

It's a scorcher this morning. Tomorrow's Daily Express headline will be "HEATWAVE ON ITS WAY" much to F1 Fan's amusement

Very nice.

I moved from an overpopulated housing estate to a smallholding a few miles west of you two years ago and absolutely love it. Walking the hound before work in the morning is a pleasure, especially in weather like this.

Population density is the root of all evil!
