Living in the country may have certain disadvantages, lack of facilities, poor public transport and so on. It also has it’s perks…
I took a little stroll out of the village
Spotted a new crop of conkers
Noted the flooding still evident from the downpours
Produced a bag and began to collect, slowly, painfully. Nettles, prickles and thorns are thriving in this damp weather and all seem to be on or in close proximity to the gooseberries.
Roadsides overgrown
Wild flowers in abundance
and this made tired feet and nettled, prickled fingers worth while.
Hi Fiona; after our chat on twitter earlier I'm glad you posted these lovely pictures. Enjoy your gooseberry crumble. Deb xx

ReplyDeleteLovely photos, Fiona. We love our walks around the farm. When you get to the far end you almost feel like you're on a different planet, it's so peaceful.
