The flowering cherry tree I planted 2 years ago in the front garden. Prunus autumnalis...its been flowering since November.

Trees. Lots and lots of trees. And then the buildings of London docklands rising up in the distance. I love the contrast and never tire of the view.

The O2 😁

Houses, gardens, trees, lots of trees. I never tire of that view.

I have a beautiful view out of my loft bedroom across the roofs of London for miles. I love it.

I love views of rooftops.

I have a lovely field at the back of my garden, so I get a lot of birds wanting food, mainly thrushes, sparrows and magpies but the occasional robin or bullfinch.

I have mountains one side and hills the other side. My favourite though is the wild rabbits running around. They seem to come out on bright sunny days and always brightens my work day when I see them when WFH.

A pretty blossom tree in the spring

Not much this time of year although I can see the tops of hills in the countryside in the distance out of one window.

The sea with Scottish snow capped mountains behind it. The sun rises and sets and it's often a red sky. I love it.

My tree.

‘Mr. Crinkly’, our elderly bonkers neighbour, having a strip wash at the sink with the blinds open.

Lots of trees and out the front a cherry tree which will blossom beautifully soon and my lovely garden which will soon bloom!

We moved to be closer to my parents, they stay in the countryside and have stables, I still keep my childhood pony there. I can see him from my kitchen window now when he’s out in the field even though I live in the town 😊 my favourite view ever

Godlovesall26 · 25/02/2023 22:10

Absolutely nothing 🥰 except neighbors on one side and two roads on the other ha
I do have a really lovely long and large pedestrian road about 10 mins by foot, so it’s fine, I love it

Sorry I meant along the river, that’s the best part, it’s beautiful

The sea 🌊 and the mountains 🏔️

Oh all of it. The sea, the fields, the stone barns, my Huntaways sunbathing in the yard, my horses and my DCs pony out the back, the sheep..

Not all of it, I stand corrected. I can see a sheep on its back. I bloody hate sheep, awkward little fuckers 😂 <grumbles as I pull on my boots to go and tip it upright again>

Sheep on its back? Can sheep not get up again from certain positions?

There was such a huge price difference (I rent) between the apartments literally 10 min by foot that had a view on the river, it felt a bit silly to me

Sheep, fields, sheep, hills, sheep, horses, sheep and more sheep

Unfortunately sheep, once they go down on their backs (it’s called being cast), they are unable to get themselves back up. If you see a sheep on its back with its legs in the air (or indeed on its side, the legs are a giveaway!) please roll them back up the right way, or let someone know if you’re aware of where/who the farm/farmer is. If they stay on their back, they can, and do, die. The sheep will be forever in your debt 🙌🏼
