I woke up a couple of Sundays ago not sure what to do with myself. I’d been waiting for a sunny day to head out with my camera so when I looked out the window and saw sunshine, I was eager to get going,
I didn’t want the sun to go in before I’d had a chance to take some photos so I just focused on the essentials (camera and snacks). I wolfed down a slice of cake for breakfast, chucked on some clothes and headed out. My walk began at the top of this hill.
This sheltered dirt track begins at the top of the hill and connects to wheat fields. No cars can get down here and you feel like you are miles away from civilisation. I’ve also ear marked this as a good route out of the village in the event of a zombie apocalypse.
These houses are at the end of the path. I would love to live in one!
There are free roaming chickens in one of the gardens and this one decided to follow me. A beaked animal with no concept of personal space is a bit disconcerting!
I had a bit of garden envy, look at these plants!
By this point I was getting pretty hungry and started to walk in a big loop back home.
Even though most plants are starting to fade, there are still wild flowers only just waking up.
It was a great walk and I was lucky the sun stayed out so long. For a couple of days afterwards I kept expecting to see the stalker chicken sitting on my doorstep in the morning – or worse, on my pillow looking at me when I woke up!
Oh I love this walk Gemma – that whirly tunnel of trees and the colours of the fields – how I wish I was there. Chickens always freak me out – a sign of a boring youth watching Hitchcock films means I now fear practically any sort of bird!
Haha! I’m not very good with pigeons, they flap too easily!
you live in a beautiful place Gemma! and these are great shots. i too love cake for breakfast.
Me too! The cake had fruit in it so I figured it was good breakfast material.
what a wonderful walk and beautiful pictures the one of the road and swirling trees is lovely and your my kinda woman CAKE for breakfast yum how to make for happiness
The swirling trees is probably my favourite part of that walk, so peaceful!
It looks like a beautiful walk. So good to still see colourful flowers at this time of year.
(Always good to have an escape route in the event of a zombie apocalypse!)
It is – the gardens up there are lovely. I’m always on the look out for zombie apocalypse escape routes 😉
what a gorgeous walk! glad you had a spot of sunshine! we are still waiting for that here.
We haven’t had much sunshine since that day – it’s nice to look back on sunny photos. Hope you get your sunshine! 🙂
Wow these pictures are stunning. We have had so many cold, wet foggy days these pictures are a welcomed sight x #HDYGG
What a gorgeous walk. The tree tunnel is really special. I’m also slightly jealous that you can go for a walk alone 🙂 #HDYGG
What a find! I obviously approve of cake for breakfast and I have heard those who eat cake for breakfast repel zombies. Win,win!
Yay! Cake for breakfast 🙂 oh, and a gorgeous walk. Also glad you’ve got your apocalypse route sorted out 😉
