my route to work

Beautiful pictures San, must have taken longer getting to work today, sunny here but a cold wind.

I live in dartmouth, nova scotia canada and it is raining one minute and sunny the next. I will be off work in half hour and I will go home and feed my fish and let out the dogs, but I wont see so many pretty trees on my way home. your trip to work is so nice

hi yorkshire yes i kept stopping, people were looking at me very strange lol, glad you like the pics ;o))
hi pondlady i would have thought you would have lots of lovely trees where you are or is it a bit to early at the moment, glad you enjoyed the pics ;o))

almost makes it worth while going to work.lol

lol Bjs, this was just a fraction of it, its absoloutly stunning at the moment, so much hawthorne blossom and horse chestnut flowers are fab ;o))

Lovely photos and blog as always, San! Am looking forward to the homeward journey too! Tee hee hee! :~))

It just shows living that little bit out of blackpool does.

You did it then San! Captured your way to work and all the colour. It makes going to work so much nicer when there is all this to look at.

lol flori glad you like it ;o))
thanx carol, ive never lived right in blackpool apart from layton which i was glad to leave haha, im not a town person, i prefer fields and trees and wildlife on my doorstep ;o)
yep did it potty, i never tirer of looking at all the trees, think i know exactly which one is where, by memory now ;o))

Stunning pics,San,what a lovely walk to work.The trees are beautiful,and the Hawthorn is lovely this year,we have a couple behind the fence.I love trees,like you.I remember Layton from years ago,as we once won £10 in a game of bingo,at a Working men's club,I think it was called Layton Institute,and they used to have brilliant entertainment
We hadnt been married long,and it was a fortune to us..we bought 2 cushions with it,at St Annes.;o)) and had a nice night out with the rest.... We knew how to live then,San..Lol.. Everyone went to Blackpool then,from our area..and it was great,and affordable.Ah,Happy days...

Great pics Sandra...lots of leafy greenery and stunning colours ! Particularly love the rampaging clematis !

lol sandra , layton institute still going strong and still have good acts on, its the area thats gone a bit rough,
i dont walk to work either i drive, takes about 10 mins in car, if i had more time i would walk, also a bit risky walking the lanes at busy times, im defernatly a tree person ;o))
hi ray everything is so full and bushy, amazing how different it looks in spring and summer, looks bare in winter, the clematis was stunning but with the sun i couldnt get a clear shot, but against the tree looked beautifull ;o))

I can see why you enjoy your journey to work Sandra, the trees look lovely. :o)

I enjoyed the journey to work, some lovely trees.

thanx sandra seeing this and listening to michael buble' is a great start to the day ;o))
thankyou sue glad you enjoyed it to ;o))

nice photos san good to see everything so green when it was bare for so long

Lovely photos San, I used to go to Blackpool for my summer hols. when I was a kid, don't remember seeing all those trees, mind you it was a long time ago LOL ;0))

thanx viv, your right there ;o))

lol val you wouldnt have seen them in blackppol where you went, this is just outside, between blackpool and motorway, blackpool is all concrete like most towns or citys,

Sent you a PM ,San,will check later..watching Chelsea,now,so I will shut up for a bit.Lol.

ok , my son chelsea fan, well both son`s, but like blackpool to do well to ;o))

Great run to work no wonder you stopped to take photo's ..Mind you i bet the drivers behind had a few word's to say about you stopping every so often ..LOL

lol mushy i was carefull not to annoy anyone , well just about haha, thankyou

lovely pics Sandra. I do hope you'd wasn't still driving when taking the pics! lol
My journey to work is just houses and houses and more houses oh & a mosque. lol. Majority of the gardens are awfull with overgrown weeds and grass. Such a shame as few have big potential gardens and would love to work on.

~isn't it great to go through the lanes and see the flowers and trees Sandra~ we take the back roads too,it's the nicest part of going to work!
I have often thought of taking a pic as we cross the bridge over the estuary to Llanelli.particularly when the tide is full in and the water is sparkling turquoise but the bus passengers would think I am mad!~ the last 15 mins of my trip to work is by bus~ you get to see the river widening out to sea and the sheep on the marshes which I believe is a delicacy~salt marsh lamb!

lovely photos & blog..

yes i feel lucky to live where i do steve, i would hate that, ive been there and found it depressing , i know some dont like gardening but how can they live with a mess is beyond me, at least you know your garden is lovely, bet its like being in your own world when you sit out there ;o))
sounds lovely arlene i think you should take some pics, i dont care what people think, tell them your doing a piece for a mag,, lol i love being surrounded by trees and fields ;o))

thankyou elsiemay ;o))

Enjoyed the blog and the pictures are really something. Can I come to work with you one day?

lol titchy, by the time you got here you will have see every tree in the country ;o))

Great photos and blog Sanbaz

thankyou so much dylandog ;o)

Oh,San,you have made me laugh today.I have just looked at your comment about your son's liking Chelsea,and I should have been more specific....I meant Chelsea flower show Lol. That's how I saw Vicky being interviewed.Not a footie fan,but as Alison's partner and all his Family are huge supporters,It looks like I
may have to keep well in with them,and go for Man United,if any. Thanks for making me smile,anyway..:o))...read your PM
too,thanks.

lol sandra,, hahaha oops silly me, im a feather head at times, glad it gave you a giggle though sandra xx

Glad I have company then,San,but suspect we are not the only ones..Lol. xx

lol probably not sandra ;o))x

Lovely photo`s Sandra ,you`re so right all the trees and hedgerows are lovely at this time of the year.
We have rain here today so I`m playing catchup again,lol. Mind you our gardens here are desperately in need of a good drink so I really don`t mind personally and I get to have a day off from planting ....

lovely pics sandra....

thanx sue none stop rain here to which our gardens need as well, so i was going to do house work but havent got round to it lol ;o))
thanx holly ;o))

I loved the pics of your drive to work! Similar to the path we take to get to my wife's place of work. This month of May is by far & away the best time of the year to do the 40 min. walk! Especially at 6 in the morning!

I made a blog of "An Early Morning Stroll in Early May". I think I should have waited a few more weeks before doing the blog & calling it "An Early Morning Stroll in Mid May"! LOL!

This morning I noticed that the flowers on the Hawthorns & the Horsechestnuts are starting to go over! :-( After the bank holiday on Monday it will be much more noticeable as we go along the path on Tuesday. :-(

thankyou balcony, ive noticed the blossoms starting to blow off now, i wish they lasted all summer, i just love this time of year for tree flowers to,
will check out your blog to ;o))

I loved these pictures, thnak you for posting.

I have a nice journey to work too, and I think maybe I take it for granted. You have spurred me into lifting my head from my Blackberrty on the train and looking out of the window again. :)

thanx so much cazkiss, your right we do take it all for granted, you have been missing so much on your way to work, bet you will be surprised at what you see next train journey ;o))

You have a very pleasant journey :o)

yes its lovely , wish i didnt get to work so quick though, feel like driving past lol, thanx hywel ;o))

Cracking pics San and a nice little journey to work for you each day:o))

thanx Dan, sometimes its like we are on auto going to work and dont always notice whats in front of us ;o))

Very tru, very true. I have a little lane a few hundred yards long on the way and it's next to a small river and lots of overhanging trees and wildlife about. It's about a 30 second drive through it but I love that small part of the journey!

you will have to get pics when you get chance Dan, i got some strange looks when i kept stopping car and taking pics of trees hahaha do i care,,, i think not ;o)))

lovely jorney to work sandra . allways take the bak way wen ever i can .much more interesting. wot do u do at work . ?

thanx cristina im a hairdresser, work for myself now at the shop ive always worked since leaving school ;o))

Lovely pics Sandra. It looks a pleasure to drive to work and even more smiles on the way back home I expect. My drive to work wasn't very picturesque, traffic, houses, busy roads, traffic lights I'm sure you get the idea but the place where we actually live is very picturesque. Glad I took early retirement and can sit in my nice garden now or do some gardening and go for walks in the village. take care :-)

thanx richard, i love the run through the lanes but its used as a short cut for many now which can be a nightmare as they think they are on a main road going so fast and not alot of laybys to nip in , it gets congested at times when folk try to barg through, then everyone gets stuck grrr, i hate that, should be residents only access, im so glad your enjoying retirement, your garden and village ;o))

Oh San...you have some wonderful trees on your way to work........really loved that....I can imagine you on your way home...taking your scissors out and doing a bit of a trim here and there......:o)

very picturesque Sandra and a joy to drive around those places. Perhaps you could give my hair a quick trim after your next visit to Janey's, with your pruners ,on your way home :-) ...lol

Ha...ha Richard.....by that would be a trip home...right across the country to me then back and down to you.....fitting in a few more Goyers on the way.Lol! Like your pic by the way it reminds me of Vernon Kaye...Lol!! And all that rhymes...........

heeee heee thanks Janey glad you like my pic - young man or what? they say you are as young as you feel..........lol. I didn't know that you knew my uncle Vernon :-)

Ha! And your Aunty Tess! Thats what they say Richard....and after a full day's gardening I feel about 90...:o((

Can't believe that Janey you didn't look a day over twenty five when I chatted to you last week over the pub wall when you were in your garden...lol :-)

What a joy to have a route to work like that.......

Well, that's cheered me up no end Richard....mmm..when we were chatting ...I was thinking , he's either on stilts or he IS Vernon Kaye...Lol

lol janey and richard,,,glad you enjoyed pics janey ;o))
it is lovely dotty, even if i take the other route on main road its still got lots of trees etc to see ;o))

Glad I cheered you up Janey-that sounds nice living near a pub that would suit me as I wouldn't have far to 'stride' home...lol :-)
Lovely park Sandra-nice for eating your sandwiches there during lunchtimes :-)

yes when younger and alot more of us at the shop we all use to go sit on the grass opposite work for lunch and sunbathe, go home now, think i got in the habit when i had a dog, use to go home and take her for walks and still do it even though she isnt with me now. but then i got angelina and now casper so like to check on him,

That's great Sandra that your work is near home so you can get home at lunchtimes. It breaks up the day for you ;-)

sure does richard ;o))

lol i 2 am a hairdresser ,mobile .i do a lot of weddings .bin on my own 9 years now.

Well Cristina and Sandra I will know where to come when I need a nice haircut.. :-)

Yes I wish you were both a bit nearer me.......mine needs a good do.....now where's those kitchen scissors....:o))

I can come around with my new pruners Janey if you fancy a 'prune' ...lol :-)

i almost went mobile at one point to cristina but glad im in the shop less running about ;o))
lol janey maybe we should start a hair rescue team and get a helicopter hahah
lol richard ;o))

That would be great San! Challenge Sandra first stop Richie's....:o)
Ooh good Richard....new pruners, a couple of rehearsals on the trees first, I could've taken you to the pub next door, but as they are still renovating....a cup of Rosielee will have to do.....:o)
