A Walk with My Camera.

We British are so fickle when it comes to the weather. Of course, we are famous for moaning about it, and not so good at appreciating it when it does work in our favour. Well today, I am changing the trend and enjoying every minute of it. When the sun is out, so am I. So this morning I took a nice walk to the post office and went up to the hills with my buttock toning fit flops on my feet.

Everything looks so different in the sunshine so it doesn't require a lot of skill to take a decent picture, I snap away on my Nikon D40 when I get the urge, so here are the results:

I adore blossom trees, these are right at the end of my street.

Barbed wire screams countryside.

My favourite view in the world, just around the corner from me.

My favourite shot of the day!

The daffodils at our front door.

Now it's time for Pimm's in the garden!

I for one am thankful for the sunshine! For me it means picnics, Pimms and flip flops everyday. I hope you make the most of it...

A Taste of Country Living...

Today I attended The Halifax Agricultural Show. It was actually my first time there which is quite shocking when I had lived in this town for 18 years before moving to Uni. I absolutely love events like this, because it reminds me why I love living in the countryside so much. It's great fun to see local charities, producers, farmers, shop owners etc all get together to put on a show for Halifax. The weather was nice too which was a bonus. So, what did we get up to?

                                My favourite Marquee was the Handicrafts...

Next year, I think I will enter the cake competition!

         Here I am with some Churros..yum.

       

 I loved this display..wonder why.

 They were showing all sorts of livestock like goats, cows, sheep, chickens etc.

 Me with a sheep...

They also had loads of tractors and vintage cars!

We also got to see a Bird of Prey display, the bee tent, rabbits and guinea pigs and some pretty nice Yorkshire farmers. All in all, we had a lovely day.

Goodbye, Flowers...

These are my last two weeks in Chester and of the many things I am going to miss, the beautiful flowers that adorn the University of Chester campus are one of the main ones. 

It sounds silly, but I vividly remember stepping onto that campus on an open day and seeing these flowers made me know it was to be my new home. Subsequently, I didn't go visit a single other University because this one was mine! Not once have I regretted that decision, and now it is all coming to an end I am feeling very emotional. There are many goodbyes to be made, but it is time for us all to move on to the next season of our lives.

I went for a walk to the library today to take a few books back and took some pictures of the beautiful flowers that I have loved seeing throughout my time here...

This rose is in our garden and blooms at random intervals:

This is my favourite bit of campus:

Alliums are my second favourite flower, so I was very happy to stumble upon these today:

The Cross in the sunshine: 

This was so colourful! 

The view of my favourite garden: 

Long live the British sunshine, I'm enjoying an excuse to drink cider all day and have regular BBQ's. And thankyou, Chester...you are a place of true beauty and I will miss you xxxx
