This old house has been abandoned for a while and it looks like Mother Nature is on the move and reclaiming her piece of land.
I'm not sure what this old building was next door, probably a shed. It's disappearing into the long grass too. I wonder how many buildings get abandoned and grown over when they still have some good years left if they are looked after. It seems like such a waste.
My first rose is out in bloom. This one is called Azure Sea and my daughter bought it for me a few months ago.
Much to my delight as well as looking beautiful it has a lovely delicate fragrance. I think it was a sad day when they started breeding roses for looks and vase life and the fragrance was forgotten. Who doesn't take a sniff when they go past a pretty rose.
Luckily the old scented varieties are still around and some of the newer ones are smelling like roses should too.
A lovely calf for this first time mother, and they certainly look like they belong together. They are Belted Galloway cows and are often black and white, sometimes reddish brown and white.
