Up on the roof

This is a view that I will probably never see again - I took the photograph from the roof of the rectory - and I will probably never have the chance to be on the roof again. Having climbed the scaffolding that has been left in place for the weekend, I was able to see our new surroundings form a different perspective!

  1. What a gorgeous village, Harriet, with its thatched cottages and lovely countryside. How nice to get this almost bird's-eye view. I envy you the head for heights that enabled you to climb the scaffolding. :-)

  2. Ha! I could never resist climbing trees - the scaffolding was a challenge though! It is a typical Dorset village although, like many, struggling to support a shop and pub.

  3. Wishing you all the best in this lovely looking town, with friendly folk, willing to lend a hand at getting you settle. Looking forward to your new adventures. You are a very brave lady, to climb to the roof. I shudder at the thought.

  5. Simply beautiful. Though I try to grow many flowers, I still live in the desert southwest of the USA. Thanks for sharing. Made me smile.

  6. To my Australian eyes this looks so beautiful. It is sad to hear that the area is struggling to survive. I pray that you enjoy your time here.

  7. The view from that top is so breathtaking! When nature speaks, it truly has no boundaries! What I love about that view are the thatch roofs. It's like living in a hut in a city.

    1. Yep - it certainly is breath taking ( in more ways than one! Hands were trembling too) Not too sure the owners of the thatched cottages would see them as a 'hut' - they're very sophisticated people round here! :)

  8. I would definitely have to agree with you guys. The view from that rooftop is so breathtaking! I'm pretty sure that you feel freedom whenever you're on top of that roof.
