The Gallery: My Back(farm)yard


This weeks theme for The Gallery is My Backyard. This, literally is my backyard, or what we call 'The Yard' anyway. These double gates are at the top of our rather steep driveway. The grey pony is Pippin, the bay is Itsy and Bullseye is sleeping  inside the stable on the left. The outbuildings (desperately in need of a coat of limewash) with the red doors are the old cowshed which we now use for lambing in and the old dairy. It's all a bit tumbledown now and needs money spending on it (which we don't have at the moment). The little red building on the left is where the milk churns used to be cooled and immediately in front is a finger post pointing out the footpath, so if you're passing through on your way to the Preselis (which are hiding behind the trees at the back), come and say hello.

  3. Tell Itsy it's no worse than going on a diet when she was here! She would eat till she popped : ) Give her a hug from us.

  9. Oh, to have a back yard like that!

    Um, well, more like "to have had a back yard like that." Just looking at it spells out more work that this ol' Bear wants to do.

    I do hope you all are enjoying it.
