Next doors kids are out playing on their bikes. It's lovely to see the kids playing out in the sun again.

Nothing at all, apart from a white butterfly I can see flying about in a neighbour's garden over the road. We're in a cul de sac so no passing traffic and, for once, no dog walkers either.

About 10 kids (between 5 and 10) playing footie up and down the road with 4 of the dad - it's safe as it's a dead end...

Really nice to see (and hear) and the weather is GORGEOUS! 😍

Two robins are following my brother and his eldest stepson as they weed my Dad's overgrown garden.

A wren, two dunnocks and a blackcap are waiting the trees for their turn.

BitOutOfPractice · 25/04/2026 14:04

I don’t have a street outside my home.

I can see lots of people having picnics in the park, lots and lots of kids playing in the playground, people feeding the ducks, people having lunch in the cafe, lots of people walking into town, cyclists, skateboarders, and some people kayaking on the river. A train is just going over the viaduct.

Weather is glorious and lots of people out and about

Cat is sunning himself in front garden. Neighbour has taken his door off and is painting it . The street is very very quiet.. occasionally someone will walk past to the shops at bottom of the road . I can see into the large field through houses across the street.. loads of dog walkers and kids playing football.. sometimes " Squidgy " our squirell will make an appearance.

Street party at end of road for StGeorges day

Clockinginat2pm · 25/04/2026 14:32

Peace.

Birds singing,

occasional car driving past but gently and lazily, there’s no urgency on this lovely warm Saturday afternoon.

Clip clop of horse hooves as some riders go by.

Busy birds flitting from tree to tree disappearing amongst the beautiful blossoms.

Kids chatting & laughing.

Perfection.

WildGarden · 25/04/2026 14:34

There's a wedding in the church opposite my house and lots of local people are gathered at the church gate waiting to see the bride arrive.

WildGarden · 25/04/2026 14:35

Lovely thread OP.

Pinkladyapplepie · 25/04/2026 14:36

Nice and quiet, won't last kid will be out racing around playing again soon. Just as they should be.🙂

Megsdaughter · 25/04/2026 14:40

Neighbours cat lying on my car roof sunning herself. Apart from that nothing.

Can here the kids two doors down playing in the garden though.

Live fire up on the Plain behind us but its not too loud today. The Soldiers will be hot up there today.

Tiddlywinks63 · 25/04/2026 15:20

Tiddler’s flat out as on her chill pad, next to me in my Shed. She’s snoring. Loudly.
There’s a bunch of little brown jobs twittering away in the hazel shrub the other side of the fence and a blackbird is singing loudly from the dead ash tree where the woodpecker has a nest in a hole about 10’ from the top.
I can’t hear anything else.
The ice cream van was around earlier but I cba to go and buy one.
All very peaceful.

Batmanshat · 25/04/2026 15:22

Two ladies in their 70s arguing over the fence

and a robin on my fence! ☀️

Placestogo · 25/04/2026 15:23

Not much, a quiet road in London, a middle aged woman (not me!) is walking up the street with a small back pack. The trees are in bloom. Theres a fly in my office and it is both annoying and kind of ordinary
i
ve just spent 3 hours in the garden. Had a small BBQ with kids and DP. Then the kids went off and DP and i stayed chatting, enjoying the sun and the bird songs and a bottle of Bandol (rosé)!

Oldraver · 25/04/2026 15:34

Nothing. The occasional car passes, and there were some screechy kids ( not in the street but the next one over)

It's very peaceful now

Blanketpolicy · 25/04/2026 16:45

Next door neighbours dd (around 7-ish) looking bored alone drawing on the pavement with chalk. She is too young to go beyond the cul de sac yet and there are not many kids her age here now and she misses her friend from across the road who is no longer here.

GoldbergVariations · 25/04/2026 17:02

Not a lot. The odd car or walking couple pass by from time to time. The afternoon warm wind has passed over the mountain and is rustling the leaves of the palm trees. It's a little overcast, but the earlier rain has stopped.

Purplecatshopaholic · 25/04/2026 17:06

I’m at the end of a cul-de-sac. It’s clearly car wash day, lol. Also dog walking. Garden titivating. Lots of take aways arriving too, lol.

Yellowpapersun · 25/04/2026 17:16

The man across the road is washing his car again. We call him Mr. Car. Apart from that, nothing. It's very quiet here.

TerryCallierLookAtMeNowNsoul · 25/04/2026 19:02

Nothing very quiet.

Littletreefrog · 25/04/2026 19:05

There is a fluffy cat from down the road sat on the verge outside my house and two magpies sat on the fence shouting at it. It doesn't care.

EmeraldRoulette · 25/04/2026 19:07

Nothing at the moment

When the moon rises, I'm expecting a couple of foxes about 9 pm

I really like it when you can see the moon in the sky and the foxes on the ground.

mumofoneAloneandwell · 25/04/2026 19:07

I dont know as my view is blocked by my tree 🥰
