The camera switches between the front and the rear every 60 seconds, however work is due to start on a new building at the rear before the end of April, so I’ll switch over to that camera for the duration and maybe install a temporary camera as well to show a second angle.
 
I'm based in rural Lancashire amongst cereal crops - although currently there’s nothing in the back fields as you'll see, but I think they’re putting maize in this year, if they do I’ll be getting some for bourbon whiskey.  Around here there’s also vegetable farming, horses, rural life in general, and an abundance of fresh air.
 
From my garden – the rear view - there's nothing but a few fields some trees, the sea and then Ireland across the sea. Out front is a residential but quiet lane where you'll see horses, the occasional horse-drawn buggy, farm machinery, cyclists, hikers and me wandering back from the pub drunk occasionally, usually on a Friday around 7:30 and Saturdays at some point.
 
Cam views are the lane out front, the view out back, the bug motel, the garden, sunsets, sunrise, and rural life. The Chilean Pine or monkey puzzle tree you see in the field view, was a birthday present in 2006, given to me in a pot by my wife, it was about 30cm tall, or 12 inches for you American folk.  It's around 6.5 metres tall now (21 feet) and is an excellent specimen of a monkey puzzle and indeed my most prized possession. The other tree is a cherry and will be coming down as part of the work being done for the new building, it's supposed to be a dwarf cherry tree.. erm.. no.
 
There’s a small wind turbine on the right, this feeds a battery array and runs in conjunction with a solar array, on sunny windy days apparently they feed energy back into the national grid.
 
There are a lot of birds of prey around here, kestrels, peregrine falcons, sparrow hawks, barn owls, small owls, buzzards and 3 or 4 species of bats. We also get the Euro Fighter test flying over the bay, BAE Warton is visible from the garden (I used to work there last century) When the Southport and Blackpool airshows are on I get a free viewing of the airplanes which is great.
