Having dropped my youngest off at school I have a twenty minute walk to work. I thought some of you may like to hear about what I see every day on my way. on a lovely spring morning it sets me up for the day


The trees bursting with new growth


bluebells are out


and white bells


Across the stream (by bridge of course)


Past the ancient oak at whose base the badgers once used to live


The wild garlic is beautiful but I wouldnt like it in my garden


Cow parsley in flower


The end of the path. This footpath runs through a new housing estate. It used to be farmland and ancient wood. It must have been magnificent before they started to build

thanks everyone. It really does have a calming effect after the first rush of the morning...getting everyone out of bed, finding lost shoes and books, doing packed lunches, feeding the cat and guinea pigs, hanging out the washing, putting the new wash in, emptying the dishwasher .......the list is endless isnt it :o)

no thanks Sarah, I used to do the train commute in my previous life. this is much more to my liking. great, I usually see ducks, jays. lots of robins and the occasional woodpecker. no one at work appreciates things like that. Thanks terra and B.

That lane is beautiful. I love it when the trees are just coming into leaf. Pitty they have to build houses. It spoils the countryside.

this estate is huge Hywel. At least 3000houses. it has 3 schools, shops, community centre and church. i suppose people need the housing and we should be grateful that the planners left at least this thin ribbon of nature intact. : o(

They are going to build in the field behind my house soon. 40 bungalows. That's nothing compared with this lol
