GARDEN WILDLIFE

PART SEVEN – VIEW FROM MY WINDOW

I realise that I’m very lucky to have such amazing views from our windows.

We live in a bungalow but we do have Velux windows that show the landscape for miles around.

We live at the end of a village surrounded by woodland and farmland.

I’ve often wondered how far I could actually see, so I’ve taken some photos and using an Ordnance Survey map worked out landmarks, then an online distance calculator to work out the distance ‘as the crow flies’.

In the photo below, through the gap where the two telegraph poles are, I can see 10 miles to the South West.
