The beauty in the everyday....

[tyred]

Picture posted elsewhere but on a clear sunny evening like today as I pedal leisurely and aimlessly along the completely deserted unclassified roads listening to the birds singing and the characteristic tick of a Sturmey hub in top gear while smelling the Rhododendrons, whin bushes and heather and to go around a corner and find this beautiful thatched house, life is good

No, bicycles were not permitted on this excursion...but if @Hill Wimp gets her way we’ll be moving there!

The best lamb I have ever eaten...baa none!

I grew up in the area, it's very picturesque.

Its not 'everyday' that one gets given a beautiful bunch of flowers, and a pretty new necklace

But the trees are always there as a backdrop to it all..

I was in one of our local garden centres this morning and this was pointed out to me by one of the staff, two bee's apparently asleep in a flower.

Your doorsteps could do with a sweep....

I must be very dull, I arrange my books in categories!

Fussing over books..

In fact having a 'bedside table' constructed entirely of half read books, is perfectly reasonable.

Its all the 'other' domestics that can be a bit dreary.

You can see for instance that ironing certainly isn't my kind of thing...

I must have taken dozens of pictures like this over the years. The stone walls of York a very photogenic.

I just love the way that from one angle it looks totally brown, then a few steps along and it opens out. Same when crops are just beginning to sprout.
