Hi everyone, This is the view from my garden this evening. My phone camera isnt great but you get the idea. In the field at the bottom of the garden there is usually oats or rape seed. The other field further down looks nice but actually its only that colour as they have sprayed it ☹This year we are so lucky to have sheep and lambs. I love hearing them baaring at each other. They seem to find a lot to baa about even at night but I dont mind. This morning I woke up at 5:30am and staggered off downstairs to get a photo of the impending 5:41 sun rise but there was no sunrise. 🙈 it was too cloudy! I think this beautiful sky makes up for it which is why I'm going to stick to sunsets and let an early bird do the sunrises 😄

Another beauty, I can feel myself there, I miss the lovely English country side. I am an ex Brit. Keep them coming, thank you, with love n hugs.....Sprinkle 1.....
Haha yes that sounds like a good idea. I woke up, realised the time. Checked when the sunrise was. Ten minutes, I thought what could go wrong and then I waited and waited haha. Must be lovely to hear cows. The only problem with the sheep is the lambs keep calling the mums and running to the wrong one and I want to go out their and pair them up sometimes the lambs sounds desperate. But I think they might just be impatient! I love seeing them springing around 🐑
I wouldn't have gone back to bed with only 10 minutes to go and would have tried to capture the sunrise, it was still a lively colour all the sane, a nice pinkish hue.
I do love to hear the animals, think I would love to be there in amongst them. I really do love the lambs.
What a lovely view. I'm semi rural and there are sometimes sheep just down the lane. They are also chatty at night along with the owls and the occasional cow!
Well Leeds was a very green city and never far away from countryside either. Now I live in middle of countryside but only 2.5 miles from sea so definitely best of both worlds
It's a lovely city, got a beautiful park in Roundhay Park complete with castle, kirkstall abbey and massive shopping centre it was first place out of London to get a Harvey Nick's complete with doorman who opened door and doffed his hat at you
Thank you. We have been very lucky. Our garden is small about 20 paces but opens up on to these fields. At least we don’t have to cut the grass! 😁
What an absolutely beautiful sky Agoodenough! I too love baa-ing sheep, though I don't hear too much of that living in the city. But I did stay for a week on a sheep farm in Cumbria last September and every evening we'd go out and have a 'meet and greet' with them. It's somehow a very reassuring sound, and maybe that dates back to my childhood as my grandfather was a shepherd. You are very lucky to have them so close by, and that sky is just magnificent. 🙏
How lovely that your grandfather was a shepherd! Cumbria is just so amazing. I love going there once or twice a year we try to get to ambleside. Maybe not this year sadly.
Yes I love hearing the lambs and they can be very noisey. It amazes me how the lamb can be at one end of field start baaing and mum knows it's hers starts baaing back and they run to each other then lamb starts suckling.
And have you heard the sheep coughing? Sounds like someone who smokes 60 a day!!!!
Haha no I haven't yet. Im looking forward to that. They've only been here about 2 weeks. I dont know what they find to talk about and like you say they are so noisy but I do love them. They are so close to the house I felt like they were in the bedroom last night! 😂 They are very demanding on the mothers. They are just at the stage in the last day of springing up in the air.
They're about 6 feet from my room window or if sitting outside nearer
When they first went in there few years back I was sat outside reading and I heard this cough looked up expecting an old man to have come round corner bit no one there then realised it was one of sheep
