A Walk.........

[Matt 160]

I've just been for a walk with Florence.

 

It suddenly struck me that it was a typical mid-summer walk in the English countryside.

 

First field was full of healthy bullocks. The smell of cattle is something special to me; as they gathered round, sniffed, licked and tasted our smell, I was struck that I actually love the smell and presence of cattle.

 

Onwards we struck, through the long meadow grass my boots gathered the seeds as we went forward.

 

We checked three rabbit traps in a hedge; nothing caught.

 

The next field was a joy.

 

Nearly 'made' hay; rattling, and giving that glorious smell of an English summer our nostrils enjoyed the delight of what must be the best smell ever!

 

So, my question is; what is the smell of summer for you?

Even just reading this is making me feel ill! Can't believe how bad my hay fever is getting the older I get! Dread going out during the summer these days because of it

I love the smell of oil seed rape.......

 

But, early mornings have their own particular batch of deliciousness.....

To be honest although each smell is individual, I've never really thought appreciated it as like that, just on the whole, just in with the dogs, birds tweeting knee to waist high wet grass, can hear the cows in the distance although sunny and not cold, there is a chill in the air, young young rabbits feeding........... Yep summer is here.

The smell of cut hay.

[paulus 26]

cow shit, stinky smelly b*****ds and if its not bad enough the cows shitting everywhere you then get some fooker squirting slurry everywhere in the fields

freshly cut grass is one of the nicest smells in the summer. and the smell of the wild mint by the brook.

 

fook me theres loads of great smells and sights in the summer if you just take your time to take them in and enjoy them.
