A Tor and a hardplace ;d

Centrepoint Tower

Mountains, a cable car, a tributary leading to the South China sea, part of a massive 55km bridge being built….by mostly pollution.

The peak district and lady cannings

The Otter Valley.

Butt ugly rendered/harled grey Scottish 1970’s housing and an unloved steep railway embankment garden.

From the top of the garden we get a view of Ben Vorlich and Stuc a Chroin.

There will be a ‘what stove for the garden room’ STW stylee soon….

Snow!

This morning? Nothing but Drizzle and mizzle

The Clyde estuary, Dumbarton with its rock & castle, Ben Lomond, Conic Hill, Ben Venue and on a clear day Stob Stob Binnein and Ben More.

From the upstairs front bedroom window I can see the North Sea with lots of ships waiting for their slot in the harbour. quite often there are 20 or so vessels waiting to come in to load up and get back out to the floating villages in the middle of the sea. Across the road I can see the £500 houses built as the city expanded and the slums were demolished.

Jealous of some of the rural views described. Great to have the convenience of larger towns and cities but I would love to have a dark vista at night to see the northern lights or the Milky Way.

Dirt track in front of us then trees and the roof of a neighbours house in the bottom of the valley. Then a HUGE granite outcrop/ridge which mostly blocks my view of the sea (i can see it from some places in the house/on the property). To either side we have neighbours houses visible through the forest (we’ll be able to see less once we either get a load of snow or some new leaves)
Behind is garden, trees, more trees, probably a couple of hundred kilometres of assorted trails, logging roads, deer tracks and footpaths. And um. Not much else for 60 or 70 km except a couple of farms and a river.
I can see for about 30km of it on a clear day from the top of a tree in the back of the garden……

30′ & 50’s housing all around. (No longer overlooked by the two storey ‘garden shed’ that the neighbours attempted last year).

The sunrise 45 mins ago.

Miles and miles of fields, fortunately there are no hills to get in the way the views 😀
If we had an upstairs, we’d possibly see over the sea banks to the sea.

I thought I had a great view then this pops up

Summer Isles, Coigach, An Teallach. All complete with lots of snow.

That is a fantastic view.

So this morning I’m up in that Yoikshire so all I see from the farm is:

High on a hill was a lonely goatherd
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
Loud was the voice of the lonely goatherd
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo
Folks in a town that was quite remote heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
Lusty and clear from the goatherd´s throat heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo
O ho lay dee odl lee o, o ho lay dee odl ay
O ho lay dee odl lee o, lay dee odl lee o lay

@ bikebouy
Yeah he gets a bit weird after a few pints the night before ..

More houses and a road from the front and side. My garden and the neighbours brilliant garden from the back.

We back on to a wooded bit of park, but if I look at an angle out of the top floor front window I can often see Winter Hill.

Useful for assessing riding conditions, though today it’s just greyness.

Fields, melting snow,woodland, a stream

WTF? My guitar being used as a snowman decoration?!!!

As of Monday i’ll be living in Machynlleth Wales, view from the bedroom window is just hills, trees and blue sky.

Ok i lied about the blue sky.

WTF? My guitar being used as a snowman decoration?!!!

🙂

Several feet of snow, the Ben Nevis Massif and the entire Grey Corries ridge, Lochabers finest salmon river across the road. Nearest neighbour hundreds of metres away, a field next door fringed with a fine strip of mature Scots pine. All aspects are exceptional. It’s why I bought it.

Women playing lacrosse in the park opposite.

Monadh Liath one way, Am Monadh Ruadh the other.

From the mancave window, our leaf-less Willow tree; a huge evergreen and lots of fine drizzle.

Winter Hill, Peel Tower & Scout Moor.

the shed i built 18 months ago with advice from here. i still look at it sometimes and think “wow, i cant believe i really built that!” sad innit 😀

Pretty much this but with more snow. Photo is a year old, but the baby is sleeping so daren’t creep up to his room for an up-to-date photo.

sadexpunk – that’s exactly what I feel when I see my shed. In fact any of the furniture in our house that I built, I can’t imagine doing!

Haytor…. but only on a really clear day……

With binoculars

The view down the drive from the upstairs terrace.

Out of the front windows, a camper van and a bungalow.

Out of the rear windows, an animal feed factory and some pylons that are used for training.

Chavs, I need to move.

Almost Sherwood Forest and in the summer neighbor weeding in her bikini.

She should try waxing.

Steve, the knob heads, house

Headstones, hundreds of them……..

I saw a cute, bushy-tailed fox appear from the trees behind my house, this morning. Gave himself a good shake (it was snowing) and then trotted along the garden and disappeared into the trees again. Made my morning.

You must live near the dead centre of your town
