B1366

B is for.....
B1366




Leaving the A171 Moor Road the B1366 is the road to our village
(Excuse quality, it was taken through the car windscreen)






In the distance the sea can be seen. This is my favourite road of all time, the road to home. Whenever we return home it is a wonderful feeling to know we back!




B&B sign at Bunnyland. Notice the bunny rabbits on the sign.



Barn at Bunnyland.

Some of the village buildings...








Barton House












Barn Conversion




Berries up the lane








Bales in the fields.


The village has been quite busy of late.
The farmers are making the most of the good weather, so the crops are being harvested.


B is also for Blue gates.....which need some attention!
Watch this space!




B is for Blue Mail Box!
Now I wonder who lives here?
Answer in the comments, let's have a little give away.
I am working on some garden cards at the moment!
I'll draw 3 winners from the comments!



Note...
ABC people know how spontaneous I like to be with my post, so look what happened at 5pm today..........

B is for Brian





He brought my shopping!




He admired my hanging baskets! LOL!

















The Dawn Chorus

Brighter grows the eastern sky, nights dark shadows fade away
A swooping owl in silent flight, hoots farewell to the new born day
Unseen within some forest glade, nightingales in tuneful melody
Pour out their bursts of liquid song, in sweet unbridled rhapsody

Blackbirds in mellow fluting song first greet the morning air
Never was sweeter music made with such artistic flair
Throwing its challenge to the dawn a distant rooster crows
Nearby a strutting pheasant croaks it's harsh discordance flows

How the thrush's love to sing they sing each song twice over
The perky wren in boastful stance trills from his leafy bower
Hayfields ripple in morning breeze like waves running to the shore
Skylarks minstrels of the skies in tremulous spirals soar

Hark a cuckoo from afar flaunting its mocking call
Echoing over wood and dell it's mystery does enthrall
Curlews glide in graceful sweep to their melancholy cry
In tumbling aerial display acrobatic lapwings vie

Hoarse cawing from the rookery magpies chatter to the morn
Robins add their plaintive note birdsong chorus to the dawn.

Oh I love all the wonderful B photos you found around and about. I have two different B posts today. One on the blogger blog due to go up in a couple hours?(I think) and then a separate one on my own blog. have a wonderful evening and Wednesday Denise.

Kim said...

Could it be your mailbox? You came up with so many b pictures this week, amazing. I only came up with one :)

Anonymous said...

You have some pretty amazing photographs here, I have really enjoyed a tour around your site.

See you soon!

Bear Naked said...

Denise
How fortunate that you live in a village with so many B opportunities for B photos.
My B post will be on the new site and also posted on my blog.

Bear((( )))

Sackerson said...

I Like the two berry pictures in particular.

Granny Smith said...

Dear Denise, such a plethora of beautiful B photos. Is it all right that I am posting on both sites? I like to share communication with as many of my fellow bloggers as possible, especially with those who share my interests.

I hope you have many more happy journeys whether on the highway or through your own village!

Phyllis

Brian said...

Love the blog this week hope my photos live up to all the reat

Suburbia said...

I love your B's! The road is so straight and what a lovely road it is!
I bet Brian thought you were a little strange didn't he?! Did you tell him he'd be famous?

Haven't done mine yet, I have to wait until it is acctually Wednesday!

I'm away for two weeks after this one so will see you again for 'E'

Gerald (Ackworth born) said...

What a wonderful post. Mine is ready and I'll be posting shortly but manipulating the date so it is actually dated for Wednesday.

The full post on your own blog and a taster or summary at the ABC blog is the best way to go, but everyone is free to operate how they feel most comfortable with - let us keep it fun and not get under pressure to post.

Dina said...

Beautiful Bs you give us! Just wish I could BE there too.
Be blessed.

i beati said...

How very quaint and lovely just the way we like it . I could wander forever and do with you ...sandy

david mcmahon said...

Lovely variety of shots. They are scenes I remember so well of your country, having visited it so often each summer.

You're right - there's nothing better than the road home.

JeanMac said...

Very nice blog, Fancy seeing bear naked here! Thanks for stopping by mine.

VP said...

I see restricting yourself to your village is giving you even more inspiration! Mine's a lot shorter, but I hope you like the shot :)

I've linked in here and on the new blog.

Garden cards - are they for me? :D

May have my new blog publicised in the Mail on Sunday - keep your fingers crossed...

Hope to tell everyone in ABC about it next Wednesday, because C is for...

Gemma Mira Wiseman aka Pamela Adams said...

How I love this insight into your world via the letter "B". Those rural cottages are like a small slice of heavenly escape! Beautiful atmosphere in your pic collection!

Maria Verivaki said...

if these b's are all in your village, you have a wonderful life out there!

Kjersti said...

I love all your B- choices, but the Bales in the fields are my favourite! Some people here call them tractor eggs, when they are wraped up in plastic..

Miss_Yves said...

Dear Mrs N.
Have a nice Wednesday!
The beautiful views of your quiet village reminds of me ....the inquiries of Mrs Marple!
I love your blue mail box with the pretty flowers !
French people are very fond of "bed and breakfast"
Mine is up...far from my village because I am on holidays, but it was a pleasure to take photos to prepare it !
miss Yves

Kim from Hiraeth said...

Truly, a feast for the eyes! Such vibrant colors. You live in a very beautiful place!

CherryPie said...

These pictures remind me so much that I need to visit the area again soon...

Lovely :-)

CaBaCuRl said...

Such an easy one this week, Mrs N! Your neck of the woods is so picturesque, & every 'Brian" i have ever known has been a good bloke.

Louis la Vache said...

"Louis" has his B posted!

RamblingWoods2.com said...

Wonderful "B's" ..I have to find out where my paternal grandparents came from exactly..but it was England!

Jane Hards Photography said...

I forgot yours was all around your village. So many B's, I was worn out after this virtual tour. I'm going for AN Isle of Man image for the Ramsey Blog, and the Bay of Angels for the ABC Blog. Cheers for doinf this again Denise, it is a great idea.

ChrisJ said...

When I was in teacher's college in Derbyshire, my second special subject, after English, was Natural History. One morning in June we had to get up at 4:00a.m to witness the Dawn Chorus. It was quite an experience! And yes, just as George says in his poem, the blackbird was the first to sing. A great memory!

chanpheng said...

Very nice collection of peaceful pictures. Looks like someplace I'd like to stay for a while.

My contribution for B is here

CalumCarr said...

Bloody hell!!

Do you do anything else all day?

Bloody wonderful!

Annie said...

AH, yes, lovey local photos..good on you, and Brian too!

I have my post up...and they are local photos too from where I am visiting my daughter and son-in-law and their little tiny (newborn baby) family. So New York is the setting for my photos...even though I am from Australia!

Thanks for having us...

Annie

kRiZcPEc said...

Bet Brian is always that thoughtful, thanks for sharing and happy shooting!

magiceye said...

wonderful concept and pictures! my first post on the ABC blog today!

Bear Naked said...

Left my name here with Mr. Linky as well as posting on the new site and my blog also.
Whew

Bear((( )))

Rune Eide said...

BBBBBBBBBeautiful area for Bs!!

Anonymous said...

B must be one of the easist letters, because I was able to think bunch of options. Probeblem in having multiple options is that you have to pick the best one ... For me it was shiney metal balls.

Kyanite said...

Well, that is a wealth of terrific photo's for B.
I've been succinct for once and only shown two.
But have have posted on ABC blog & my own as well as signing into Mr Linky here.

Now, I suspect that blue letter box belongs to a certain Mrs Nesbitt, I should by rights have one like that.

Leslie: said...

What a fab post, Denise! So many Bs that you found. I almost forgot it was Wednesday but stayed up late to get my post in. Hope you enjoy it.

James Higham said...

Wow - there's some nostalgia there - I know that road well.

Anonymous said...

And not a Bike in sight, I think we should pat ourselves on the back for restraint:)

Gayle said...

What a great B post! I wish I had more time to get some great B shots, but I have one of my little Elijah. Should I send mail?

Dragonstar said...

Oh dear, I can't guess whose blue mailbox that could be, contrasting with the glorious nasturtiums. (LOL)
By the way, I found some nasturtium seedlings yesterday and transplanted them to a basket. Late, I know, but we'll see what happens.

Dragonstar said...

Ooops! forgot to say that I loved this post, and Brian was a wonderful coincidence.

Elizabeth said...

A wonderful visit to a very English and b-full village.
I'm glad Brian was happy to have his photo taken.
This is fun.

Elizabeth said...

.My link on mr.linky managed to mess itself up!
oh well!
it's
www.elizabeth-aboutnewyork.blogspot.com
all best wishes
and thank you for organizing this fun event.

Libbys Blog said...

You are totally 'Bonkers'by the way!
Now who would live by a rustic 'blue' gate with a 'blue' garage and a 'blue' post box would that be you by any chance???

Lake Lady said...

I so enjoy wandering through the countryside with you while I enjoy my morning cup of coffee here at home! I'll be posting with Mr Linky on the original site again this week while I await my invitation for the other! Have a great day!

lv2scpbk said...

It's amazing how many letters you can find when looking for them. I really like the 2nd photo with the long road and the horse photo, and the one with the fence.

Mine is now posted. Also, I still haven't received your instructions on how to use the other site to post ABC Wed.

gma said...

You've captured some Beautiful shots of your countryside. It seems so charming!

AphotoAday said...

Well, that's an interesting assortment of b's...
I always enjoy photos of the English countryside...

Deb said...

It's so lovely in summer!!

Jerez / Sherry /Eve2.0 said...

So many B's!
Wow, I like the baskets too, You are a marvel with hanging baskets!

abb said...

Love your Midsummer Night Itch poem. Perhaps it's your mailbox?

Great B post - love that blue gate.

swilek said...

oh i love your b pics as it reminds me of my recent holiday to northern ireland...just returned home a week ago...i love the uk!!

Suburbia said...

Mine is up!

Texas Travelers said...

Great series of B's.

I'll be back later and spend a little more time.

Come see our Butterflies,
Troy and Martha

kjpweb said...

Glad, good ole ABC is back!
Now I'm in again!
Cheers, Klaus

jennifer said...

Loved doing this B photo!

Thanks!
~Jennifer

VP said...

4 would be Brilliant :D Thank you Denise!

Sara said...

The scenes around your village are like balm for my eyes....everything so green and uncluttered and pretty, and the wide open spaces.

And, what Beautiful nasturtiums you have! I love the way their colors complement the blue mailbox and the blue gates/doors. Have you ever tried adding nasturtiums to your salads? I haven't tried it yet, but they are supposed to be good to eat. I love their scent and their brilliant greens and oranges...

zetor said...

Fantastic photos Denise.

Larry D said...

Wow, great B photos! Thanks for hosting.

CrazyCow said...

Thanks for the B post.

Leslie: said...

I forgot to mention that I think the blue mailbox (and the gate) are yours! ;)

Cath said...

I never properly acknowledged the awards you gave me. I have now. Pop over and see. And thank you again.

swilek said...

sure wish i was in your shoes with all those biker dudes in n. ireland!!:) you go girl!!:)

Lynette said...

Well, I've decided to put my ABC Wednesday on Mr. Linky, too. It appears others did also, as well as posting on the new blog. Will you continue to offer both?

Mrs. Nesbitt, your B post is an inspiration to us all!

DeniseinVA said...

Hi Denise, just found your blog through camera critters. Enjoyed your B photos - they are great and I love seeing pictures of the countryside in England. I am a Denise too and though I am English, I live in the US now. Great blog!

Cath said...

Obviously come over when you like, but...
If you get near a computer on Tuesday 5th, have a look at my post because there'll be an award for you. I'll be away so it's a scheduled post for 1am Tuesday (my time zone!)

raf said...

A wonderful post! Excellent photos all. That mail box shot is a beauty!
Hats off to you, Mrs. N, for the great job you do. Thank you!

M equals PixieKatten said...

Mines up too.. better little late than never.. ;) My B is for Buddha Park

M equals PixieKatten said...

And oh, your photos are amazing as usual. So many different b's! I think the Brian ones are so sweet and fun! Great work!
