Default Oh what a beautiful morning...

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.

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.

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 )

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!

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.

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



Across the bridge and in to the village.



Through the woods.

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.

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)

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!
