In these strange times I find I am not keeping my blog uptodate so this morning early before it is needed I am doing a little entry with a few pictures from our daily walks for permitted exercise. We are lucky. We can walk out the door and into the fields and lanes.
The weather has been glorious and the verges are sprouting with foliage and wild flowers. There are butterflies and birds to identify. The soaring song of the lark is one of my favourites.
This is an old stone barn. Most around here have been converted into homes so one of the few left. I do hope it has some barn owls nesting inside.
Below - a surprise to find some tulipsflowering in the lanes. These must have been planted, perhaps a memorial site. Keep safe and well everyone and love to you all who regularly follow me. I am still stitching and there are regular updates on my Instagram account. louisemaywatson. You don't have to join or have an account to look at it.
Thanks for the walk. I love the barn and the lone tulips are really sweet and they do make you wonder.
ReplyDeleteDelighted you enjoyed the walk and the surprise tulips. We often see daffodils at the end of lanes near a road and assume they are dumped bulbs.(why dump bulbs in the countryside I wonder but perhaps by people who have no garden?) These tulips have been planted so maybe they are a memorial and mark a spot of someones ashes.
Deletewhat a lovely, simple barn ... I went wandering on your blog to see if you had stitched it at any point ... didn't see any mention, but the Lacock barn interiors were a wonderful find
ReplyDeleteYhank you Liz to have a wander on my blog. No I haven't ever stitched this barn so there is an idea at some point, thanks for that.
DeleteWhat lovely paths you have to walk. The old stone barn is a treasure. Our apple trees are in full bloom just now on the Northern California coast and are gorgeous. The fact that it's a glorious spring has made the strangeness of the world more bearable. Thank you for all the beauty you share.
ReplyDeleteThank you Stephanie for saying so.
