I know, I'm a little late getting my pictures out this time. No excuses really, but have just been generally busy - the girls have both graduated from University this year (well done and congratulations to both!) and M has just moved to Bristol and C is moving to Oxford. Our house is now a depository of three years worth of belongings so we have lots of boxes to absorb somehow!! Exciting times for the girls though.
At the beginning of the June the bluebells were still just showing in the bluebell field above the wood. The cows are now out in the fields, the blackthorn bushes were in flower and the grass really looking lush.
Just look at all that beautiful yellow! Reminds me of a quilt made by Elizabeth Brimleow called 'Low Meadow'- see here
I also spied some deer in the fields, just cheekily grazing on the buttercups
Now the end of June, and although we have had some lovely sunny days this month, we are back to low cloud and drizzle. The English weather is so unpredictable, I think thats why I like living here!

By mid month the bluebells had faded but the buttercups and meadow flowers are beginning to show up well in the hay fields.
The real star of the show this month has been the buttercups. The meadows have been awash with buttercups as far as the eye can see. I love the way they dance in the breeze. Quite a few of the farms around us have taken their first cut for silage, but our immediate farms keep the fields for hay or haylage.
