As someone suggested - a new post of pictures taken from the back door.
Actually '' I'll show the house (attached to a long barn with the piggery at the end). Our other barn is out of shot. The hanger ( on the left) is now full of logs.
2 views.

The second view is from the back door showing some of our veg. The rest is at the front of the house

What a beautifully kept roof...
Great pics - it's nice to have your livestock just outside.

View to the back of the farm yard out to the front :)

This is the back door but pic taken from chicken run - very handy to have chickens under the bedroom windows for foxy protection and to take pot shots at Magpies with air rifle ;)

The looking from the field towards the back of the cottage

What fab places you all live in!
Plums, that hill shot with the buttercups was in Little House on the Prarie wasn't it? or am I showing my age.
Must go out and get pics......see you all again on here later...
-
You just beat me to it! I would love any of these places. All I have is a modern bungalow that sits right in the middle of an acre so can't have animals - neighbour immediately behind me and too visible at the front! :'( :'( :'(

One of our neighbours said that living next to us is like a cross between The Waltons and Little house on the Prairie ;D will have to get a picture of the girls running down that hill in long skirts and ankle boots ;)
-
;D ;D I actually bought my kids the Little House dvds after reading the books and also The Waltons dvd - they totally love them! Great tv.

We have a modern bungalow on 1/3 acre in the middle of a busy town with close neighbours. We have 3 chickens, 2 pigs, 1 miniature horse and a goat! You can squeeze things in, it is harder work as cleaning needs doing 1-2 a day but worth it :)
-
What fab places you all live in! ...well you could sit and look all day at the view

This is the back door
Sorry Plums, this really did make me laugh out loud ... the thread on "the view from the back door" and a picture of "the back door" ... I actually love the picture (and the house) but slightly wide off the mark?! ;)
(please don't take offence :bouquet: )

LOL! never do ;) what I meant to put was there was no point taking a picture FROM the backdoor as the hill is so steep all it would show is a whacking great wall (the one we hope never falls down because its holding the bottom of the hill inside ;) ) I am sleep deprived thanks to the usual culprit kicking me in the back all night (yep, Scarlett....)
-
:D
I was going to nip out in the morning and take a photo of both the view and the back door... :thumbsup:

From the back door, complete with rubble sacks, then into the Orchard and finally the pasture

View South from the back door over the land that we farm:

View North from the back door:
(http://i45.tinypic.com/okcugg.jpg)
View of the hill to the East from the back door (It is steep, so mostly what you see from the back door is grass and sheeps' tummies!):
(http://i47.tinypic.com/6xz0if.jpg)
And lastly, a view of the back door from the top of the hill:
(http://i47.tinypic.com/351sio6.jpg)
Like other folks whose photos are posted on this thread, we are very lucky to live in such beautiful countryside.
Food for the soul...

Bright enough for pictures today in Aberdeenshire, from the back door (actually only door) South over Maud, west to the ducks area, north to the goats and then further to the sheepies.

I must put this thread on "ignore".
It's lovely but too depressing!!!
I'm so envious ;D ;D ;D

Would it help to know that from the top of the house I can see the Luton Airport control tower!

Here is a view from the front door ( only door) step.
(http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w57/bobhastie/IMG_7979.jpg)
This is the view if you take 9 steps from the front door. You can still see the gate so I haven't walked far.

View of my front door! Actually, view of the hole where my front door will eventually be ;) Oh no, it's too big (the photo, not the hole) so won't work.
There are photos here though www.themeadenproject.wordpress.com (http://www.themeadenproject.wordpress.com) - sorry, I don't have a photo account or anything
-
No idea why, but I can't see the photos in MAK's post - I can see all the others - what's different? They are all lovely, though...
And you really wouldn't want to see the view from my back door. Whirligig, surrounded by rubbish bins, bags of compost, old pots, flymo and other gardening materials; a stable door and my father's old desk (can't get that through the door into the house - they used to build desks bigger than these days...). In one word - mess. One of these days I'll get a decent view, too - or at least a shed so I can put the stuff away! :D
-
well, more through it really
-
Not sure why Ina can not see my photos.
Try this view of the house. Let me know if you can see it Ina. :thumbsup:

Still can't see anything... Weird. Maybe my PC is just getting on a bit in age - keeps telling me I should upgrade this and that - but it's just weird because I can see al the others! ??? Not to worry! I'm sure yours is just as wonderful as all the others!
-
Here is our view.You can see the badger faced welsh in the distance.
Couldn't put one pic on now two come along at once!
