"FROM THE BEACH TO GREEN COUNTRYSIDE"

I WAS READING A MAGAZINE TODAY WITH  PRETTY VILLAGES INSIDE.

SO I THOUGHT I WOULD SHOW YOU A FEW IN MY JOURNAL POSTING THEM HERE WITH PRIDE.

EVERYONE SEEMS TO BE THINKING THAT SPRING HAS FINALLY ARRIVED.

WELL LET US ALL HOPE SO J/LAND FRIENDS WILL THESE PICTURES MAKE YOU DECIDE.

ABOVE ARE THE VILLAGES ROUND MY TOWN  IN WALKING DISTANCE SOME  ARE.

SO FROM BEACH AND THE OCEAN TO THE GREEN COUNTRYSIDE I DO NOT HAVE TO WALK FAR.

COBBLED STREETS WITH COTTAGES SCENIC LANES ASTRIDE FIELDS OF GOLD.

CATTLE GRAZING CHEWING THERE CUD AND THE SPIRES ON  CHURCHES STAND BOLD.

HEDGEROWS FULL OF BLACKBERRY BUSH FOR PICKING WHEN IT IS TIME.

THE POPPY FEILDS GLOW IN THE DISTANCE THESE ARE A FAVOURITE OF MINE.

A SHORT CAR RIDE THEN TAKES ME TO MORE PICTURESQUE SCENES TO SEE.

PRETTY THATCHED COTTAGES ALSO WHERE THE RIVER IS FLOWING FREE.

STEP BRIDGES FOR TO CROSS OVER TO THE OWNERS TINY FRONT DOOR.

PERRENIALS BY THE WAYSIDE COULD I EVER WANT MORE.

SO I WELCOME SPRING AND SUMMER AS THIS IS WHAT I LOVE TO DO.

WALK AROUND THE VILLAGES AND I'M SURE THAT YOU DO TOO.

IN THE DISTANCE I SEE THE LIGHTHOUSE STANDING TALL AS WHITE AS SNOW.

IT'S BEACON IN THE EVENING SENDS OUT A LOVELY WARM GLOW.

FROM THE LOCAL INN FLOW AROMA'S OF HOME COOKING Mmmmm IT SMELLS GOOD.

ROAST BEEF AND YORKSHIRE PUDDING MAYBE WITH A PLATEFUL OF ROAST SPUD (ha).

OH! IT'S SO GOOD TO BE LIVING NEAR THE COUNTRYSIDE AND THE  SEA.

WHEN YOUV'E LOOKED AT THE WONDERFUL PICTURES I THINK YOU WILL ALL AGREE.

I WENT FOR A SHORT WALK THIS MORNING WHILST THE SUN DECIDED TO SHINE.

IT'S AMAZING WHAT THE FRESH AIR DOES IT REALY MADE ME FEEL FINE.

DAFFY'S AND BLOSSOMS WERE SWAYING  AND THE SMELL OF A NEWLY  MOWN LAWN.

WHEN I PASSED AN OLD MANS COTTAGE AND HE SMILED AND HE SAID GOOD MORN. 

WHAT BEAUTIFUL TREASURES WE HAVE HERE IN ENGLANDS PLEASANT LAND

SO FOR NOW I DON'T THINK I'LL GRUMBLE I'LL STAY HERE AND MAKE MY STAND.

AND ENJOY THE COASTLINE AND COUNTRYSIDE WHEN SPRING COMES AROUND THIS TIME.

I HOPE YOUV'E ENJOYED THESE PICTURES IV'E PLACED HERE IN "MY SIMPLE RHYME"
