      A village walk Sunlit Sunday 4

      February 7th


      Let me take you on a little walk in my surrounding area.  Wrap up warm, the sun maybe out but it's still quite chilly.  Ready?  Let's go...


      Holly in my front garden, you can just
      see our house chimneys in the background

      The centre of our village

       
      Blossom is out!


      The difference between the blue and the green was so striking

      I just love looking up too

      As I only had my hone with me I was
      not able to grab a great capture
      of the red kites up above

      Traditional British post box in the sun

      The sun allowed for the reflections to be striking

      Everywhere now the daffodils are out


      The catkins are budding

      I couldn't help but bring a few catkins home

      Whilst in my garden I noticed next to the snowdrops
      the narcissi were out in bloom and the
      hyacinth will not be long now

      After a sunlit walk I brought the catkins indoors

      Pop back in a day or two and I will share with you my latest walk following in the trail of Agatha Christie and where she used to live...

      Now I must get back to knitting that jumper... 



      Joining in with   Karen looking for those sunlit moments in the week
      which make these grey wet days just that much more manageable. 



         Hope the week brings you many sunlit moments   ♥

      2. That was a lovely walk. Your spring seems to be advancing at the same rate as ours, as daffodils are starting to come out, and I have see Pussy Willows on my walks too. I look forward to seeing more scenes from your village.

      3. Lovely photos :) I think your Spring is slightly ahead of ours but only just. I can't wait, it's my favourite time of year, I love seeing all the bulbs starting to sprout and flower :)

        1. Couldn't agree more Evelyn. Spring bulbs popping up everywhere is wonderful. You can see why it's such an inspiring time of the year full of hope

      4. Wonderful photos! Your spring is much ahead of ours (we have 30 - 40 cm of snow) and your sky is so much bluer than ours at this time of the year. :)
        The reflecting water looks lovely, and so do the daffodils.
        Wishing you a sunlit new week! xx

        1. I can understand that Jen. We also have in my opinion some even more gorgeous oldie worldly postboxes that are sunk into brick walls. Must post a photo soon for you to see

      8. Hi, I am glad to find your blog. I like your village photos and the red post box; one of my favorite authors, Anthony Trollope, played a role in setting up the classic red post boxes when he worked for your postal system, as I recall.

      11. Thanks for taking us along on your walk. Lots of signs of spring - the budding willows, the daffodils - it's all so welcome about now.

      12. Lovely photos of your walk and isn't everything in nature ahead of itself? There won't be any daffodils left for Easter at this rate. Well done on getting a shot of the red kite. We get a lot of them now in Mid-Wales and I always love seeing them. Such magnificent birds!

        1. I am determined to capture the red kite properly. They are becoming a bit of s nuisance here. It was here they re released them some years ago as they were in danger of extinction. No fear of that now! Sometimes when we BBQ I'm a tad nervous!
