yes we were lucky and had sun last weekend........looking at the weather these past few days it is hard to remember what the sunshine looks like with more local flooding here.
But enough of the rain, lets have a look at what we got up to last weekend.
On Friday evening a group of friends descended on a friends house armed with a dish for the meal (I took Sicilian lentils) lots of laughs and eating and drinking.
Then Saturday was the most beautiful sunny day.
then from no where Lucy pounced on it!.....it got away and fluttered off into next doors garden a little shaken!
I took some photos down to the village Conservative club to enter them into the village Michaelmas Show.
I had intended to bake a cake the night before but I went out instead!
Unlike previous years the home grown produce was very thin on the ground.
and I won a trophy for one of my photographs!!!!
The theme was 'Gateway' here is the photo that won.
Taken last winter.
We walked along some local lanes we have not explore before.

We saw a green woodpecker but I couldn't get a good photo of it.
I wore my new hat I bought from Landbaby at the Bluecoat in Liverpool.
I will share Sundays walk with you another time.
Love the gate photo - it would fit nicely in the Countryfile calendar! Love the sheep photo too. The weather here is horrid but not as bad as up north - some terrible flooding footage on the news.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week.

Congrats on winning a prize for your wonderful photo. We could do with the rain here, two months with not much rain at all. Love your new hat!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a fabulous weekend, well done on your photo winning a prize. I love the look of where you walked, so pretty.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are really superb! Congrats on your winning photo, too! I really enjoyed this post...and I'd love your lentil recipe! :-)
ReplyDeleteBrilliant gate photo - no wonder you won a prize. Well done!
ReplyDeleteHi Lyn..I can understand why you won that award for the gate photo..it is absolutely stunning! Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteMany congrats on your win, very well deserved. Your photos remind me so much of the 16 years I spent living "up north".
ReplyDeleteI loved comparing the snowy photo with the one you took recently - Im running a photo challenge on my blog called "Autumn Views" where you take a photo of the same view each week to log the progression of autumn - it would be lovely if you would join in.
Hope the weather picks up a bit today!

Beautiful photos love that old stone at the farm and the eggs in a cloth cap! Congratulations on winning the photo competition - well deserved I'd say. Thanks for sharing this lovely walk with us. We must all store up memories of sunny days in readiness for the grey ones to come mustn't we?
ReplyDeleteLyn, you didn't just win a trophy. you won best in show!!! The photo is beautiful and would make the most fitting Christmas card! Your Sicilian lentils look pretty good too! x
ReplyDeleteWell done with your snowy photo, it is nice to see the summery version too. Sicilian lentils sound rather interesting.....care to share the recipe??!! I like how the eggs have been exhibited in the flat cap, a nice touch.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your win. Not surprised though as I think your photography is some of the best I see in blogland, you catch every thing so well.
ReplyDeleteLovely to see you in your new hat.

Well done you! I love your prize winning picture. And your new hat.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on winning the competition, very well deserved too. I love the picture of the eggs in the cap. Don't you look good in your new hat?
ReplyDeleteNo wonder you won!
ReplyDeleteLove the photo with the eggs in the hat. Congrats on your photo award.
ReplyDeleteI adore the evening sky shots and quite rightly your "Gateway" won the prize.
ReplyDeleteCheers Gillian
Well done on your win.... no surprise as your photo's are always lovely! x
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your photo prize, but I am not surprised as it's a gorgeous photo, you captured the winter light really well. Glad you were out and about enjoying the sun over the weekend. x
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I love your photos in this post, especially the fabulous skies and that beautiful rose in the first picture (I'm sure I can smell it!) x
ReplyDeleteCongratulations of winning the photograph competition, it was such a lovely photo. I liked your September picture of the same view. The pictures on the TV this week of your area look so bad. Your Sicilian lentils look interesting. I looked for a recipe on Google, do you have mushrooms and courgettes in yours?

Lovely photos again in your post - well done with your winning one! I was commenting on the lack of country/village hall shows here the other day, only to discover that they do exist but just aren't well advertised......I'm prepping the boys in vegetable animals and gardens on a plate for next year (just kidding!!).

ReplyDeleteWonderful photos. I love the sheep. And the countryside. And the gate. And the food.
ReplyDeleteThe tiffer suits you! I think the time spent deliberating colour was time well spent. xxxx
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your award! Your photos really ARE fabulous.
