A morning in the country and some photos

I’m not an early bird by any stretch of the imagination. I could easily stay up all night and sleep all morning, but today, I arranged to met a friend and she IS  a morning person. 

Can’t believe I was actually sat on a bus by 9am this morning, maybe that’s not early for you, but it is for me, especially since being retired.  We were off to a little country tearoom called Trumperton Forge. It sells home made soup, seeded bread, carrot cake walnut cake and a selection of delicious fruit teas. Lunch was yummy today. However………..the expedition wasn’t just for the food. Trumperton also has a small enclosure outside with chickens, turkey, horses and a couple of rescued hawks. I’m not sure exactly what the birds were, I forgot to ask but they were the reason we went there. 

Our aim was to take photographs of the animals and countryside and maybe, if we managed a couple of  fairly decent shots, enter one into the Countryfile photography competition. Not sure that I’ve got any thing worth entering, the competition is pretty stiff. But theses are a couple of the best so far. I don't think I'll use these but it was good practise.
