Thankyou, I love google maps I'm virtually driving there before we go. I like to be prepared with no surprises on the way. Driving on the right can be difficult at times, motorways are fine its the countryside small roads are a bit more stressful. Im excited all the same.

Early walking is much nicer for me. I like the solitude and blanking out man made distractions. Didn't have to go far. Outside my front door a fox on its way back to its den waiting for night to return.

Whoa! Great catch. I'm usually without a camera when those kind of animal encounters happen. And yeah, early morning walks are the best.

Awesome to see the fox & catch a pic!

Not that hard when i feed them most nights 🙂. They normally run at first sight of anyone to close but this was just outside the door at 6.30am this morning before anyone else was up.

Grey photo for a grey day.
Im looking all the time for different shots to take i love it when I see something different that might be passed without anyone else noticing.This one was just screaming at me for a photo to be taken. Dont know why but it is pretty to me.

Zura

Late check in and walk this evening so now about to get my breakfast ready before bed. I just love going to bed now I've probably already mentioned it but sleeping now is so much better.and never taken for granted. Waking is the same time everyday more or less, no alarm clock necessary i wake without fail between 5.30 and 6am every morning. Its just great.
So trying to walk a little more countryside roads but it can be a little dangerous as they are narrow but you do see some lovely wild life.

I think i have reached the limit in my patience for work only one day to go and im really feeling tired so it cant come soon enough. Even walking is a chore this week🙃.
must give my garden a bit more attention when i return i used to make little houses in my spare time when the kids were small so heres a sample now being overgrown with moss.

Zura

I love your lil house, I can't see moss in the photo but I imagine it only adds even more charm. The cobwebs make it even more rustically authentic, and the grass and flowers are so beautiful!! I envy your scenery. I really enjoy your thread, thanks Al ☺️

Edit: I love the snail too!! And the sculptures, it's a perfect scene.

AL48

Thanks Zura i used to love making them for my little girl back then but even now at 19 i still see her have a look🙂.

oh, I love the little fairy house!!!

Thats it im done. All the excitement of a date on the calendar has arrived. Still had to work today but it was fine as usual took the long route and spotted a black headed gull must be finished nesting may be. Its head will turn white again for winter and there will be a lot more around the marsh they can be noisy fellas. I pass a few food vans on my way, they are so much more now than the food they serve, really good food from traditional fish and chips to thai food, pizza from a old school oven cooked and heated with timbers the smells can be intoxicating in a good way that is probablythe coffee van. Its the vans and trailors themselves that are really attractive some multicoloured some with logos of the sea and so on but this one in the photo is a favourite of mine something spacecraft or silver surfer about it.
So if i miss tomorrow or any few days in the coming weeks its due to wifi issues but i will keep posting when i can.

Couldn't help myself and went out at 6am for a walk and it didn't fail to impress. Lovely sunrise old ship at the pier and the massive vessel visible if looking to the Atlantic ocean. Its decommissioning an now unused gas rig off the coast its like something alien from a movie has landed.


Thankyou all and have a great weekend.
