It may be a little on the cold side but being out in the sunshine, strolling through the rural lanes felt amazing. It may not mean much to anyone but this picture felt like a turning point. It made me remember why I started this photo marathon which was to capture Guernsey through the seasons in any way possible. No rules, no competition, just enjoying being out with the camera!

Seeing as the chickens physically blocked the road, I though I should probably take the opportunity to grab a rural country shot.

Late 19th century farmhouses in rural St Pierre du Bois. The charm of Guernsey’s rural parishes that I love searching for.

Small, peaceful rural settings in the higher parishes. Always enjoyed walking round here.

Looking down towards Rocquaine Bay and beyond with quintessentially rural farmland rolling down the hillside.

The peaceful and serene Les Vauxbelet valley in the heart of St Andrew. The grasses and leaves were frozen under the clear night skies leaving a beautiful carpet of ice.

Checking out the fine asses enjoying the sunshine in the rural lanes of St Martin. Some days it’s nice to just get back to my roots and wander around aimlessly to see whats lies around the next corner.

If you think about it, Guernsey is just like one big giant farmyard. Most of the animals are visible from the road and don’t cost anything to see but the challenge is actually finding them.

The older i get, the more I like the sound of running my own farm. I’m sure my kids would love it but Danni not so much.

Following on from yesterday’s theme, it seems there’s some stiff competition between the farmers again this year. The turkey still gets my vote but this is a great us of materials! If you spot any more around the island, give me a shout.

Having watched way too much South Park growing up, I can’t help myself from thinking about Timmy and his pet turkey Gobbles whenever I see a turkey. I even make gobble sounds in my head.
Great effort whoever set up this massive hay bail turkey thought.

Just because I like cows. They’re like the goldfish of the countryside, basic animals but nice to look at and talk to :)

Those warm beach days are now a distant memory but on the plus side only 46 sleeps and the days start getting longer again!

The rural heartland of Guernsey. Miles and miles of narrow windy lanes filled with cows, sheep and horse poo.

Decided to take the long way home to enjoy the peaceful rural lanes and this little calf was creeping under the electric fence into the road. Mum quickly ushered her back in to the field.
