saw this on another site

In fact, as Marelli doesn`t seem to believe my description, I`ll take a photo of my view and post it on my profile tomorrow!

Hunt, your magnolia tree sounds beautiful.

From where I am sitting, the first thing I can see is a telephone wire with a Kookaburra sitting on it, then there are lots of roof tops and in the distance I can see the Pacific Ocean and if I look very closely I can see my SIL on his surf board (just joking).
If I were at home I would see the Firth of Forth, Inchcolm Island with its Abbey, and on the other side of the River, Edinburgh Castle, Arthur's Seat and Hillend ski slope. Oh, I feel quite homesick at the thought

from my upstairs computer room window I can see almost to the end of the road.The road is full-and i mean 'full'- of houses that are too large for the plots of land so they look as if they are all squidged together. Originally they were bungalows or small houses that fitted the plots but as soon as a bungalow is sold the owners decide to make it into a three floor house. The land in front of these houses has been concreted over and there are 2, 3 or 4 cars on each drive.We have been in the middle of a building site for about 6 years. Never mind,I have a lovely magnolia grandiflora Exmouth in the grass in the front garden and it has lots of enormous white, lemon -scented flowers on it.

It's dark now so I can't see much of our back garden, which is grass and a veg patch, a large walnut tree (devoid of nuts this year due to cold, wet spring), an apple tree and loads of very blousey perennials. Oh, and sheds. Himself is a three shed man.

On the hand, out the front the club opposite has a group playing tonight and as it's a hot evening there are people sitting out with their drinks chatting and it's all very sociable. (The club has a strict stop and lights out time of 11.30). Love it.

Oh glammanana you do make me feel homesick. I love where I live now but I do miss the Wirral.

Right now I am gazing out from my front window on our Leaning Tower it's the focal point of our village. All that remains of the church of St Chad the knave having been demolished because of subsidence in 1977. The village pubs are busy tonight and I can see people sitting outside the nearest one, children are playing in the churchyard. Everywhere looks so green and lush even in the fading light.

With the dusk the bats arrive not so many now as the severe winters we've had have decimated their population.

Opposite my sitting room, in the gap between the houses, I can see the tops of the huge trees in the fields and they are silhouetted against a pale crimson sunset, which looks beautiful.

jeni and soop I would love to be able to watch the sea.

From the family room window I can see at least 2 dozen shades of green,
the grass, the plants and at the end of the garden over the fence a wall of trees just gently moving in the breeze. Why is it this is always the best part of the day.
Forgot to mention the toys scattered on the grass and the bike stood against the wall, oh and the rocky horse looking at me with its beady eyes through the window... must need fed again

Bushes,a conifer,doggy doo,to be picked up,car on the drive. My flowers which are all dying,doggy doo,and flowers will be seen too in the morning before it gets too hot

Like that number! You made me laugh there! (It's the way she tells 'em)!

Sitting with iPad on my lap, facing north-east by north, I can see the top halves of trees (ash, sycamore, ivy-clad), lit up with evening sunshine, sky (blue, even!), a little bit of hilltop on the far side of the loch that I can see glimpses of through the trees.

I have used this is an exercise for a Creative Writing workshop! I know it off by heart.
I look out onto a group of restored medieval farm buildings from 1600, an arable farm even today with some lovely ancient trees in the farmyard.

From where I`m sitting now, I can see the backyard, dustbins, clothes line, and the back gate which is wide open, because if we move it, it`ll fall over, cos it`s a bit broken, waiting for a handymanwho doesn`t seem to exist. Then beyond all that, I can see the front of the house across the alley behind our house. If I was in the front room, which I wouldn`t be because it`s my daughter`s bedroom, I`d be looking at the river, well, canal really, and thinking what a mess all the parked cars have made of the bank.

It's usually cold grey sea!

From the back window I can see Rory [still asleep.] Lots of birds going hither and thither, and the ancient forest.
jeni

The tide is coming in now and the channel is blue for a change! Lovely, look you!

From my (living-room) window I see my long garden with an oak tree at the end. Underneath this is a little tomato 'tent' which isn't doing very well with regards to tomatoes as we should have put it somewhere else not so shaded. A birdhouse - (empty of birds at the moment because Daisy the Cat has just pranced down the garden) - in front of which is a large clump of lupins and monbretia. There's a clump of pretty love-in-the-mist at the end of the lawn.
soop, we can't have you coming over all unnecessary next Sunday! Get those corsets off!

kitty what is it that you don't understand?

nina shouldn't think ANY Gnetter would own up to this nasty!

Oh soop it sounds quite painful me dear,there is defininatly truth in my dear mum's saying that elastic is man best invention and if we where all the same size life would be b..... miserable.
From my lounge window I can see the tops of The Three Graces (Liverbirds) and the edge of The River Mersey and to-night I will see the fireworks as a liner leaves the port.
From my kitchen window (1st floor apartment) I can see the houses that run across the back of us and their displays of hanging baskets on the porches and just under our window I can smell the lilies that have opened this past week and send lovely scented smells to my window.
p.s from the lounge I can see my washing in the back garden but we will forget about that I think .

kitty don't fret. Have just had a generous slice of date and walnut cake. No chance that I shall entertain the idea of squeezing into "that thing" ever again. From the window, I can see a perfectly placid sea. It's baby blue. The islands are a soft purple. I imagine that there will be a gorgeous sunset again tonight.

I've just seen my first comma butterfly! On my window ledge! Never seen one before!

Still bewildered

Honestly, my darlings, I promise not to wear the new-fangled wotsit. As you say, Ella - life's too short. I have a longish skirt, purchased on Ebay [that hides the lumpy bits very nicely.] A plain-ish, loose-ish top, a pseudo silk scarf, and the watch with beaded strap [bought for a song at the local art/craft show.] I shall need one of my NHS sticks. May tie a ribbon around it, as it's a special occasion! Whoop whoop!!

jeni that "old git" could be mine
