Welcome, bj. Lovely to see you again. Glad you enjoyed the walk at Barleycorn after the thunderstorm. The angelic voice singing 'Summertime' is that of Renee Fleming, who as well as being my favourite opera diva, is an accomplished jazz songstress too :)
Welcome, emmesse! Long time no see! It was fun to do the little video with the thunder rumbling away in the background. Did you see how high the barley is now?
I liked how Monster and Titch followed me on the walk and sat posing, right on cue, as I made my way to the pond :) Then all the frogs hopped out of the pond before the next thunderstorm. I must try to capture them in action next time.
Wind through the barley,
The song of the breeze,
Ephemeral poppies,
The tracery of trees,
Barleycorn – Magic!
A feast for the eyes.
Our little corner of paradise.
In 1990, as we were driving through a little village, I noticed a quaint old barn with a corrugated roof, and a newly-built house adjacent to it. They were standing on a large plot of land, full of pernicious weeds - a corner of a farmer's field, in fact. Then we saw the "For Sale" sign. Four months later we moved in and decided to create a garden for wildlife.

How lovely! What a beautiful walk through the garden with such nice music! Great job!
Welcome, bj. Lovely to see you again. Glad you enjoyed the walk at Barleycorn after the thunderstorm. The angelic voice singing 'Summertime' is that of Renee Fleming, who as well as being my favourite opera diva, is an accomplished jazz songstress too :)
Great stuff! Who needs postcards when you can take a virtual walk round the garden?
Welcome, emmesse! Long time no see! It was fun to do the little video with the thunder rumbling away in the background. Did you see how high the barley is now?
I liked how Monster and Titch followed me on the walk and sat posing, right on cue, as I made my way to the pond :) Then all the frogs hopped out of the pond before the next thunderstorm. I must try to capture them in action next time.
