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. :D

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

It's nice to be out in the country away from the city rat race eh? :thumb:

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. :Suspiciou
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!!

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

Heaven on earth, mate. :)

This is my kitchen window view :)

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

Cheers, Lawrence, hope you're well. :thumb:

All good thank you .Your photos really made me smile :)

Hope all good with you:thumb:

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. ;)

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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. :thumb:

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)

The willow's a beauty! :thumb:

It's a scorcher this morning. Tomorrow's Daily Express headline will be "HEATWAVE ON ITS WAY" much to F1 Fan's amusement :lol1:

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!
