Lancashire hill farm

A typical hil farm in the shadow of Pendle.
Lots of sheep farms in this area, all pretty similar with farm houses constructed of stone & the fields bounded by dry stone walls.
This was a particularly tidy one just needed some smoke curling out of the chimney for perfection.

I didn't take my camera with me today as it was pouring down when I set off but by the time I got home the sky was clear & moonlit...could be frost tonight!

Three good things:
1. A delivery of stuff I ordered for Christmas arrived.
2. Friends coming for the weekend tonight.
3. Loving The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah a book recommended by @eyesmile

Might be difficult commenting over the next few days but I will do my best. Not very polite to spend time looking at a computer when you have visitors!

So clean and tidy -- a place for everything , and everything in it's place !! Super stone walls !

[Jane Armstrong]

Beautifully captured Pat. I like a well kept farmyard.

[Pat Knowles]

@motherjane yes so do we Jane...ours was really tidy when we farmed, Harry was always a bit OCD about tidiness!

[Pat Knowles]

@beryl Thanks Beryl, love these stone walls myself, I don't even see a TV aerial on this house & it's well out of the village!

[Bep]

This is beautiful, Pat. Love the stone walls.

[Pam Knowler]

[Rosie Kind]

Nice POV - Fav

[Dianne]

What a little lovely and tidy lot of buildings surrounded by stone walls - like a picture book. Enjoy your weekend.

[Jan Hall]

Aaah but I bet that their garage isn't as tidy as Harry's! Beautifully composed shot Pat. I thought it might be yours when I first saw it.

[Judith Johnson]

Love your pov and composition.

[Pat Knowles]

@jantan No I bet you're right Jan......there might be mess behind those doors!

[Maggiemae]

This is a gorgeous English scene - that same stone used for all the buildings and with the stone wall in front, it makes a super picture! I would have backed that tractor out and hid it though! You could hide in the toilet and look at 365?

[Pat Knowles]

@maggiemae Great idea maggiemae...thought you might have a solution! Am looking now as everyone flaked out in front of the tv.

[Chris K]

picture book perfect. looks so cosy all ready for winter.

[Sue Cooper]

I really like this shot. Everything looks so neat and tidy. It looks like a model. I like the way you've got the stone wall in the foreground.

This is a stunning photo even without the smoke curling from the chimney. FAV

[Margo]

Just like we read in books!!

[Gena Pegg]

This is so utterly charming and like a picture I would see in a book. I love the scene and you have captured it so well. Just love it!

[Babs]

What a beautifully well kept farm. So neat and I love the dry stone wall.

[Myrna O'Hara]

OMG, this reminds me of my husband's aunty's farm in Wales. This one is much more tidy than Aunty Nellie's was.

[Joyce]

Love this Pat and what a tidy and cared for farm as well

[Vera]

This is so lovely and "complete" in its composition.

[Judith Greenwood]

Ah it's a beauty - the sort of thing that Adam used to spend hours playing with - except that the sheep aren't all in a row in size order!

[Sylvia du Toit]

Fav. Beautiful scene.

[Jen Hudson]

I love this. It immediately reminded me of a toy farm that a friend had when I was a child.
