Taken just over a week ago when we went for a walk with the dog
Over the rail bridge a train comes past with almost a cloudless sky
There were a few Red Kites with the Birds in the field
Looking for dead rodents after the field was cut
So down to our caravan in Wales at last and a walk with our dog showed the swans were still there
He was cruising around the lake
Keeping an eye on his mate on the nest
Never far away if you came near
Mum on the nest moved around
And showed me her eggs, well she was tuning them, then sat back on them again.

This week the Church Explorer revisit St Michael, Aston Tyrrold the first of two churches that are in adjoining villages
Couple of photos from the village showing our magnificent horse-chestnut tree in full bloom
This is my hose reel, gets used most days to clean off the patio
This week the church Explorer visits Aton Tirrold United Reformed Church for a look around, it's a lovely little church set on the edge of the village
Stopped off at this place to see why it has shut
but got some blue skys while I was there
On the other side of the road big sky and clouds
They just went on and on
Took this for another reason but the sky just went on
Happy SkyWatch
This week the church explorer visits the Knollys chapel at Rotherfield Greys to see the stunning Elizabethan monument
I stopped off to get some photos for some little project I am doing at the moment so these are all local roads to me
The Oxfordshire boarder, that side is South Oxfordshire or what used to be North Berkshire before 1974 and they changed the boundary's
Turn round the other way and your looking at West Berkshire
This is what is behind me, a few weeks ago I showed a photo pylons disappearing into the distance from just outside the village, well this is the last one, after this it runs underground to the other side of Streatley Hill
This was looks over the surrounding countryside, the pylons head back past my village way past the last one you see
Just out side Streatley on another side road taking you to Cleeve court
That is one of the nearby cottages there
Streatley recreation ground
The carpark for the grounds is to the right where that flash of read is, carry on and you get to Cleeve court
Townsend road which will take you back to the first one I was on at the beginning though I might add it is a private road.
Take Care
I still feel the need for some flowers to bring a bit of joy to our lives
Cherry blossom
Bluebells
They are pretty
Single stem
Cowslips
These grow on the roadside as well
Daisy's
Lilac
My wife found it growing in the garden and grew it into a standard to start with, it was replanted out the front of the house and now looks stunning
Take care
