Morning

After the horror of yesterday, a brighter blip today.

In fact, this photo was taken just a few minutes after I woke up this morning and is the view from my window looking up the side of the steep valley in which we live here in Gloucestershire.

It's a great time to take a picture, with the light mellow and golden.

And it's the perfect time to be out and about. When I opened the French window from my bedroom, it was already pleasantly warm and I was greeted by the sounds of birds chirping and ducks quacking on the canal a few yards from our house.

I love this time of year.
