spring sunshine

We are enjoying some lovely weather and I am so lucky to be off school for the Easter holidays!
Lucy-Boo
Lucy-Boo has also been enjoying the sunshine.

Two friends came over to go for a walk yesterday.
We walked up the lane behind our house and onto an old track.


Then up a road away from the village of Millbank.

Millbank
Time to catch breath and look back at the perfect clouds.

and on to the top of the hill where we stop to admire a beautiful old house.

Then we walk down an old lane mainly used by walkers these days.



Then home for lunch and a nice cool drink!

by the way I found a little shelf for the Dog.

Thank you all for your lovely comments in my last few posts, Taking each day as they come it is hard to be too sad when the sun is shining and the birds are singing. I am off to bake a lemon cake now.

  1. Your photography is lovely The beautiful old house looks like a nice place to pause on a walk. Lucy Boo looks comfy. Isn't there something so peaceful about an animal napping in a spot of sunshine. All I learned about the art of napping, I learned from years of owning cats. My little dog is no slouch when it comes to napping, though.
    Your blog is so pretty.

  4. Lovely walk, thank you for sharing. Your photos are beautiful! Our Spontaneous gets that same expression on her face when she sleeps in the sun. Cat's are solar powered.
    Hope things are continuing to improve.
    Cheers,

  5. What a lovely week to be away from work. Your photographs capture how beautiful everything looks when the sun is shining! We were not quite so lucky and we're now looking at the sun through the classroom windows.

    I learned last year that the only way to deal with any blow is to take it one day at a time. Thinking of you
    Love Kathy xxx

  8. You have alluded to sadness and as I've only just started following your postings, I don't know to what you are referring, but whatever it is, I hope the spring will refresh you and bring you joy. Your photos are lovely, especially the one of your cat and the lovely old house. I see daffodils still in bloom in one photos - down here in Devon they are over and lilac is now in bloom! I wonder how far ahead of the north is the south this year? Not that speed matters, it's the quality of the light, the new spring greens, the scent of flowers once again, that makes spring, whenever it arrives, so special.

  9. Just a PS ... it was only this weekend you have alluded to sadness, but as I didn't look in over the weekend, I missed that, so I'm really sorry if something has knocked you sideways. Life has a habit of doing that, unfortunately; hitting you when you are least able to cope, too. How lovely that your husband took you out on your birthday - belated birthday wishes from Devon!

  20. What a lovely photo of Lucy in the sunshine - they always seek out that patch coming through the window don't they?! Thanks so much for your message about Archie - I still wake up with a horrid jolt when I realise he's gone and I've got another day without him. Son no. 2 decided straight away that his house wasn't a home without cats though, so we have gone ahead and adopted two rescue boys - they are busy chasing each other, settling in and wrecking the house. It does help to have cats around again I guess but Archie was really very special. I just want to keep them safe and not let them out and don't want to get so attached to them, but how can you not?! I'm trying to remember that Newton was fine for years and our previous cat did live till 15, so I really hope this pair look after each other for many years.
    I hope your sadness is retreating from the front of your mind and you are adjusting to whatever it is you are dealing with, life is certainly very tough at times. But the sunshine does help and you have the essence of Spring in some of those photos. I think I need cake too, that's a really good idea. Lots of love xxxx
