Sunlight

The new January Squares challenge, hosted as ever by Becky, the Queen of Squares,  is all about ____light. In this often dull month light of any kind is what we all need to lift our spirits as we wait impatiently for spring to begin. Click on the link to find out more.

I wanted to begin the month with a scene all too familar to me as I look out of my bedroom window. The green pastures of Trink Hill where the Trink Dairy Holstein Friesians and Herefords graze providing some of the creamiest milk you can find. On a typical winter afternoon with dark clouds moving in from the west, sunlight appears and lights up the Cornish scene all too briefly.

I have lived in the UK for most of my life, but when young I definitely had wanderlust and even ended up living in South Africa for several years which was a wonderful experience. I now look forward to a long and leisurely retirement doing what I like most - gardening, photography, walking and travelling.

  1. What a beautiful view from your window, I am very envious.

    We have had a glimmer of sunlight this morning, so maybe we will be looking this month with lots of light! Wishing you a very happy New Year xxx

  2. I admire your confident start to lead with the possible extras! Today’s picture has more than a hint of the northern lights.

  3. What a view!!!
    Not much sunshine here either, and it gets me down too.

  4. I can see why you bought the house, with that lovely view that will (hopefully) never be built on.
    Good start to the challenge, Jude.
    Best wishes, Pete. x

    1. Can’t see that land being built on and the land around us is NT so that’s pretty safe. But I can see a time when we need to be closer to amenities so I have to make the most of these views.

  8. It’s a good thing you don’t do Facebook, cos there I’d be, smiling right back at you, in the sunshine! Sorry, Jude 😦 😦 I am very impressed with your view though. 🙂 🙂

  9. There’s something about a sunlit scene with ominous clouds in the background – I love it! And it’s so green!! Not much of that around here at the moment.
    PS I can’t read the phrase “on a winter’s day” without singing it. Ever.

    1. I’d love to share our rain with you H. It has been awful for what seems like months. But living on top of a hill has its plus points. No flooding.
