      I hope it does too Rosie. Thinking about driving over to Winchestet, not been there for years for a stroll around. Good weather would make it all the better x

    What picturesque surroundings, you are very lucky. Here in Lancashire we are blessed with the glorious weather but, although the West Lancashire Pennines are very close by,
    my locality is mainly industrial.

    Oxfordshire has some pretty villages and I've enjoyed the walk around this one and the surrounding countryside. Not surprising artists are attracted to capturing the scene on canvas. The photos with the yellow fields and blue sky are also really lovely. Let's hope the good weather continues.It makes such a difference. Have a good weekend!

    So lovely houses, nostalgic architecture and great views in your neighboring village! You surely had a dream day! We have enjoyed a dream weather here in Finland too. Wonderful, amazing - like heaven :)

    What a pretty village! We have some lovely thatched cottages in a village near us. I love taking the scenic route home when I drive, just so I can see them.

    One of the things I enjoy the most in England is the varied architecture. Love thatch. Rape seed on the other hand makes me sneeze.

    Greetings dear Selma, your lovely photos made my day sunny. You live in such a beautiful setting and the cottages with the thatched roofs are amazing. I'm happy to hear the sun is shining in your area. We had a few lovely rain showers last night and are hoping for more. Enjoy your weekend. Hugs, Pat

    It looks very pretty in your part of the world. Thatch is fascinating stuff, I have a cousin in law how is a trained thatcher (if that's what the profession is called). Hard work. Have a nice weekend.

    Oh how I loved strolling through this village and along the roads! I liked the architecture, the thatch roofs, and the beautiful fields of yellow! The sun is shining here in the Seattle area, too. Love these kind of days. Have a good weekend.

    Beautiful architecture, and those thatched roofs are wonderful. The blue sky with the canola (?) fields below make such a study in complementary colours. What a great place to walk.
