I'm listening.
The buzz of bees on the flowers above my head dominate , but the bark of a dog over in the rectory, the thump of a faraway football and the faint tinkle of children playing far past the main road can be just made out over the chirp of the hedgesparrows.
Little 10 year old Sara has just been round to play with Bok, she makes my day too.
ReplyDeleteIdyllic. Just a pity we can't actually smell the honeysuckle!
ReplyDeleteSome nice imagery here John - pity we can't be sitting there enjoying the sounds with you.
ReplyDeleteA June's summer day. x
ReplyDeleteSweet. And a touch of melancholy.
ReplyDeleteElsewhere from amsterdam
Just lovely!
ReplyDeleteAs Pa Larkin would say “ perfick just perfick “
ReplyDeleteI have seen the honeysuckle in flower this week too as I've walked my dogs-but it's been bittersweet without my darling top dog x

DeleteWhat a lovely moment you describe. On my patio I have the gift of the scent of citrus, from my lemon tree, which grows in an oak wine barrel.
ReplyDeletequiet for a saturday morning; just the way I like my saturday mornings.
ReplyDeleteIt's always wonderful to just be in the moment and enjoy it. Serenity is a beautiful and wondrous experience.
ReplyDeleteWhat a magical place to be - thank you for sharing. Those moments make you want the world to experience them with you, and you've done that!
ReplyDeleteI close my eyes and deep breath with contentment. With Anthony Bourdain’s demise in the news, and several close friends with the same demise. John, I’m not a world traveler but have friends from different cultures. I suffer from md but I’m content with the small things in life. I see others thinking they have what makes them happy and then it happens. 🙁 Gabs
ReplyDeleteChildren should be taught to tinkle quietly.
ReplyDeleteVery much like our back yard sounds. We are lucky, are we not?

ReplyDeleteThe face of Jesus is dead centre (between the two little bushes) in one stone of the wall at around 19 seconds in. Can you see it?

DeleteHow lovely...I could hear the bees :) (I mean after all my hearing isn't that keen anymore :))
ReplyDeletebliss
ReplyDeleteTom, was right. There IS a face in the wall. This could become quite interesting, John.
ReplyDeletewe live in a tiny village in Lincolnshire , between the new London neighbours who are very loud,endless petrol mowers, farm machinery and 2 Raf bases within a couple of miles theres no peace but i barely notice it .
ReplyDeleteUp till recently I had seen so few bees I was wondering if they were all dying, but in the last few days I've seen loads of them. All is well in the bee world!
ReplyDeleteAre you still selling your home? and moving
ReplyDeleteSitting in the garden amidst the scent of roses and the sound of birds - paradise.
ReplyDeleteOK, the buzz of bees makes me nervous but other than that you have created a little corner of paradise.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of my mornings here. Lovely isn't it?
ReplyDeleteLovely . . .
