When I got up at 6.30 as usual this morning, I decided to go for a walk, for the first time this year, instead of working out on the instruments of torture (aka the cross trainer and rowing machine). It was a bit grey and misty, but the sheep in the field across the road were already munching on the grass
there were lots of ...... wildflowers
...... new leaves
....... old gates
I would have liked to get closer to take this photo of the horses .....
...... but it would meant braving the thick nettles in the verge!
on my way up the hill, these two little lambs looked very cute
and they managed to look even cuter on my way back down
one of the neighbours has had a load of logs delivered. It was very tempting to pick up one or two on my home, to add to our log pile!!
this old tree always makes me think of the Whomping Willow in the Harry Potter books, but sadly it has lost its last big branch over the winter
however the sheep have obviously made good use of it as a scratching post
I'll be back tomorrow with a special post inspired by a parcel I received last week .......
...... and then on Friday (yes, I sometimes actually plan ahead!) I'l have more wonderful things to show you which have arrived in parcels with foreign stamps!
