Ssh... spring is on its way...

... in between downpours that is...

not exactly a babbling brook -
more like a torrent.
..
doesn't look muddy
 very squidgy underfoot though  



The Windfall


Rising Mist in the Taw Valley
(as seen from our Middle Field)




uh oh.....:-/
...Get home quick Baz...
another thunderstorm is a-comin' o'er the hill...
The NEXT Day... 
the rain had given way to frost and a beautiful bright morning!

Middle Field Gate -
still some mist hanging in the valley


Into Top Field



and at the VERY top...
my Christmas Present

(except it was covered in frost, so I didn't sit down!)
you can just see my bench
on the other side of the gate
and what a view! :-)

Back down the lane ... and....

SNOWDROPS!


... oh and our little Spurs Supporter Gnome...
"Hmph. I hate being in bloomin' goal..."

    1. Thanks Libby, I'm not very good at photography as I have blurred vision so I can never tell if the photos are blurred or not!
      Yes the bench was a Christmas present from the family to put at the top of the field for me to sit on... its a bit of a puff getting up that hill!

  2. Such a peaceful view from the middle field. Lovely photos, and what a difference the clouds or sky make.

Thank you for leaving a comment your interest is very much appreciated! It will be published as soon as possible - depending on whether I am at my computer or walking up the lane, or being chased by the goose or helping mend fences after the pony has broken through YET AGAIN.... :-)
