We can take several ways to drive home from town, but our favourite way is driving along the front prom, yesterday the sea was gently coming in.
There were a lot of people walking enjoying the sunshine.
We drive up to Rest Bay,
Here this grassy area often has mole hills and cowslips. When its cut, they mow pathways in the long grass.
And wild flowers grow all round in the rocks at the top of the bay.
Then down through Nottage estate, where they are nearly all bungalows. I keep a commentary as we drive along; 'Neat hedges at my cousins, her gardener has been,' I say.
Down all the way to the roundabout, to pass the field where there are four Shetland ponies, they are sometimes separated, I think its because they bite each other! But they are so small and pretty!
We pass an allotment and then further on we pass the Meadow, now with a large Lake, presently there are large geese there, Canada Geese?
Opposite is the Buttercup field where the Beach ponies live.
When we turn into our road we can see our golden daffodils, 'fluttering and dancing in the breeze,' Wordsworth's poem.
It was beautiful yesterday, a sunshiny day and our town looked beautiful and we love it, and when it rains, we say thank goodness we're not on holiday!

Beautiful, it must feel like you're on holiday all the time.
Always amazing to see the photos of your country. I expanded a few to see the detail. I spotted the windmills. And the lovely lavender flowers blooming.
It was a truly beautiful day yesterday.
Your ride sounds wonderful. Thank you for the commentary.
Lovely views. This weather is supposed to last a few more days i think, it's nice to see some sunshine for a change.
What beautiful drive! Seeing your photos made me feel like spring as finally arrived.
Nice to drive around and appreciate your home environment.
I have a few tiny shoots of daffodils that have broken through the ground but they won't be in bloom like yours for weeks. Such a lovely sptt you have there to enjoy.
