Ever Changing Meadows

I love living right in the heart of the countryside. I feel so lucky that I can draw back the curtains in a morning and the first thing I see are acres of meadows.

Morning and evenings are my favourite time of day. I like to wake early and take a cup of tea outside and take in the views and breathe in the fresh air. 

I was looking back at the photographs I have taken over the last 17 months and realised I like to take pictures of the meadows. Here are some pictures taken across the four seasons.

In the Autumn/winter trees have lost their leaves, hay has been collected from the meadows to feed the livestock during the colder months. Tourists have returned home, animals hibernate until Spring

The Month of June

For me, June is about saying goodbye to Spring for another year and welcoming Summer with open arms.

The days are long and warm and it feels so nice to feel the sun on my face. I can have the doors and windows open wide, I can step into the garden without putting on an extra layer. I can enjoy leisurely strolls across the meadows.

It is also the time of year where the garden starts to bloom. Flowers emerge into a beautiful array of colour.

The first crops of home grown vegetables and salads are ripe for the picking. Nothing tastes better than those tender lettuce leaves in a salad. Dining outside underneath the patio table parasol just makes this month even more lovely.

Home Sweet Home

My first blog post! Hi, thanks for dropping by. I'm Nikki and I can be found nestled amongst the meadows in my little home. My husband and I moved into our home 16 months ago and have been renovating ever since!

Our home over looks meadows so I feel very lucky to live here. It's very peaceful and the views are breath taking. Our dog loves living right by fields and enjoys lots of walks through the long grasses and wild flowers.

The view from my garden

The property was very run down when we first moved here so many improvements needed making. So far we have replaced the kitchen, bathroom, hung new doors, decorated the hallway and created a lawned garden from scratch. 

By writing this blog I hope to create a record of our journey into making our house a home and gain inspiration from other blogs out there too. Please drop by and say hello! I would love to visit your blog. 

Have a lovely day!
