Perfect Sunday morning

 I don't know how tom knows when its Sunday, but I am the first up every day and six days a week he doesn't get up until Robert gets up but Sunday he's up and raring to go. Sunday the Lords day was a almost perfect day. The sky was blue, warm, quiet and the bird song was a delight. Its hard taking three dogs tess is full of life and cant wait to go, scampi is slow and dose her own thing, and tom is big, excited wants to bark but is well behaved. Once all leaded up its a battle to get trough the gate. The words steady, wait good girl is repeated many times.

Waiting to get out the gate tess has to be first

Through the yard the dogs are on the lead and walk steady but once round the corner its all go except for scampi who likes to have a good sniff. Tess is long gone

Its all stop at the gate to wait for the slow humans

The sun made delightful Patton's through the trees

Tess waiting for the command to go

The walk takes us past what I call the Tudor house the light was amazing

Tess and scampi have great play time together it sounds terrible the growling but its all great fun

Tess like to eat grass as dose tom

The walk back to the gate

This bed of marigolds with the banana tree is in the stable yard and is a welcome sight on a dull day

One of the lovely stone troffs planted up by Robert

This is the drive out of the yard to the road

The pear tree against the side of the house

Tom is back first

The herbs i planted in pots have com on really well and stay in control in pots

Herbs the other side of the bench

The Rebeca as with a lot of the flowers this year are not as good as years past due to the cold winter, but its still 8foot tall just not so many flowers

A shorter type of Rebecka

Flowers in pots along the path

Making use of an old milk turn from the farm we used to live at

It was a wonderful morning peaceful a time to pray as I walked, watching the dogs having fun, taking in the surrounding listening to the birds, and knowing Robert was having a deserved lay in. It was over to soon. Although we were going for a family party 35miles away the thought of the busy motorway was a world away not a trip I ever look forward to.
