South and West view. I have builders in at the moment who like to park stuff in my drive and make a mess, so I clipped that out.

I have no idea why the first picture is shown twice!

Don't get to bothered about views from the kitchen sink folks. It was Char who talked about that, not me, & she only owns the forum

I was just curious as to what you could see outside from your kitchen window

Kitchen sink and view.

So many lovely views.

RobertArthur - don't you love your Siemens dishwasher. We installed one at the new house and love it. Also splurged on a gorgeous Siemens frigo and a self-cleaning oven. All are amazing (so far).

Oh that is stunning, Mangetout! All those wonderful, mature trees!

My neighbour's house is higher up the slope behind ours. Thanks to careful planting, we don't see it except when going in and out of the drive, although we do have to go in between her two properties to get to the main road. When we moved here, having the nearest neighbour 200m away was a wild luxury

Now we've got used to it, 2kms would be better...

Unexpected frost this morning! While waiting for my morning cuppa to brew, caught this shenanigans going on in our lower field. Got it on camera now! Neighbours' horses in our lower field - land falls away from the house, and split by a quiet chemin bordering that field, which has the River Isle on it's far side. I'm never sure who starts these mischief moments, but judging by George's behaviour (horse on the left - who I ride and have practically adopted!), I'd say he's the instigator and that would be why he's got the teeth marks on his neck! The three of them woke me at 4am having another of their "let's race around the field" moments.

Spring is definitely in the air!

and view from South facing front door - see the frost on the grass? Hence an indoor photo!

Oh, and this was the view from our back door one morning in Spring - when I went to feed the cats! As you see, we're obviously quite rural here!

So pretty Bayleaf. Do the deer eat your plants/flowers? I've seen them here, but our garden is closed, so not in the garden ... yet (I know they jump).

Thank you.

It looks deceivingly tidy in those photos!

Our 'garden' just merges into open countryside, fields and woodland. I used to get cross if the deer used a tree for their antler rubbing or chewing, but then it was up to me to protect adequately. They were here before me! Amazingly, the Rosa Rugosa behind mama deer there weren't touched. Now we just enjoy sharing our land, and keep it fairly rough with a "survival of the fittest" theme. It's less stressful that way!
