Solitary Summer Walk #1

I have been out of the habit of early morning walking by myself .
This morning my day starts with the amazing noisy cry of three oyster catchers flying over the field , constant birdsong in the wood , the clear blue sky and the glorious rays of light on the expansive barley field.
This is 'our field ' which is continually under review for housing ...who knows if it will eventually happen but this morning it is very beautuful. You can see our tall chimney - which needs repainted .

On the path I was delighted by the curlew calling and a sound I had almost forgotten - the evocative summer sounds of grasshoppers.
Delightful.
