Thursday view through my Window


  A selection this week, as I missed last week

Weather not too bad at this stage


Men still dismantling the TV mast



A different thing to see


Storm clouds gathering


Pelting it down



After the thunder storm of earlier, we now have blue skies and puffy clouds!

Linking up with Jane for more Thursday views

Shenstone Village Nature Walk

Shenstone is a lovely village that is situated roughly half way between where I live and Lichfield City Centre and takes around 5 minutes to get to once on the train. We took ourselves off for a quick walk there recently so I thought I'd share some of the photos with you.

Blossom, which as you know is covering the countryside with fluffy white flowery clouds at the moment













 This marks the start of the walk for us














 Lovely 'Ophelia' water plants drifting through the brook













 I love these Water Stations, buildings with character 













 Flowers galore













This bridge takes us under the train line we use to get to Shenstone and it's only around shoulder height (for taller people anyway) so it's 'duck or grouse'













 then through to the other side where we are greeted by this lovely sight



























 a sleepy baby!


























 past all the lovely cow parsley













 and the fishy bench













 a family sheltering by the bank in the brook













 lovely meadows













"A flock of birds settle. The green field re-echoes where there is a brisk, bright stream"













 and finally back past the field where these beauties are

















A very quick look at the nature trail created by the people of Shenstone Village

Etsy Showcase

I really have neglected my poor little Esty shop this year, this is due to all sorts of reasons beyond my control! 
The time has come though now to knuckle down and start listing some items.

I've started with Vintage goodies for now.
I've also got lots of handmade things that I'll  put in the shop very soon.

Here's a glimpse of things I've put in the shop for now.....


A lovely bright and sunny yellow pair from Rayware, milk jug and sugar bowl
























A fabulous Vintage pottery from George Dear Pottery




A set of three Vintage postcards showing gorges and waterfalls


Some Vintage Chad Valley Dominoes
These dominoes were actually made in the Chad Valley Factory, Birmingham. Some more info here
Not too far away from where I lived as a child


and finally a set of Vintage Unicorn Darts in a lovely maroon colour Bakelite Case
