It’s all about the weather in this week’s photo diary. Perhaps I’m a little mad as I’ve still been out enjoying walking and capturing landscapes in the rain, mist, wind and mud.
I went for a wander alone in the misty forest on Sunday morning – just my camera and tripod as company. Then returned and made a huge Sunday roast.
On Monday, after the first day back at school, Luce and Theo each chose a place in our garden for their grapefruit trap.
By Wednesday everywhere was muddy. Not surprisingly I live in my wellies at the moment! Strange to think back of those days living in London wearing heels…all the time.
Black clouds, rain and gusts of wind marked the end of the school week. Luce and Theo didn’t seem to notice as they raced each other along a path clutching their school bags.
This morning I saw a fox, pheasant and as usual buzzards overhead. And lots of big clouds being blown across the sky.
I must be back in Britain – here I am waffling on about the weather. But the countryside is still rather beautiful even on blustery winter days.
Week 2 – Photo Diary – Project 365.

I am in love with that grapefruit trap, such a fab idea and those Viola’s will certainly brighten up this dreary month #365

Amazing photos, it looks like you live in an amazing area. I bet the wellies beat high heals any day x
Kriss MacDonald says
I’m completely a country gal now. I do like shoes and boots – so now am building up a collection of wellies 🙂
Sarah MumofThree World says
You’re not mad at all for going out in all weathers! I think it’s essential to get out in the fresh air. Your pictures are as beautiful as ever, although those poor ponies do look very sorry for themselves!
Kriss MacDonald says
I agree Sarah – I think I would be totally mad staying inside 🙂
76 sunflowers says
The countryside definitely is rather beautiful in these pictures! Love the eeriness of the fog in the distance 🙂
Erica Price says
I love your misty shot. I took a few this week too, but they didn’t come out as well as yours.
amanda walsh says
Some beautiful views, love the first capture of the misty forest
Candace says
Very British, talking about the weather! It is so dark, grey, wet and cold right now. Glad despite this you have been able to get out. We’ve not managed it this week due to illness. Some really beautiful photographs
Jaime Oliver says
awww my garden is so in need of some colour too! lets hope next week the sun might shine x
Mandi says
Certainly makes you appreciate our wonderful countryside. I love the one of the children running home and the pony reminds me of when I used to go to the stables in the winter as a teenager.
Mummy Whiskers says
Stunning photos; I love the grapefruit trap too! #project365
Elaine Livingstone says
love this weeks themed pictures. Children dont seem to notice the cold and wet in the same way adults do. Our chickens have the same underfoot as your horse does, roll on drier weather.
Xandi | Lattes and Little Ones says
Your photos are stunning! We complain about the weather a lot but there is something still so beautiful about the British countryside whatever the weather.
Mummy of Two says
What lovely photos. The horses stood in the mud are beautiful.
Sonia Constant says
Great photos! The straw field and horse were my favourite
Kim Carberry says
Lovely photos! It looks like you live in the most wonderful place….
ClearlyBex says
