Visually impaired version! A light, pearl grey morning, the dawn seeming to bubble up like silvery froth behind the castle and along the tops of the hills. #trishaashley #morning #trishaworld #blind #visualimpairment

Visually impaired version! A beautiful dawn, so brightly glistening, a pale rose-gold, through the leaden sky that it made the heart glad to see it. #trishaashley #morning #trishaworld #blind #visualimpairment

Good morning! #trishaworld #trishaashley #morning

The smooth, dark mauve-grey early sky, with slanting streaks of silver, has now turned pale, soft lilac, though the promised rain has not yet arrived. The breeze brought me the distant bleats of sheep and suddenly I could smell warm wool, grass and gorse... though only in my head

Good morning! #trishaworld #trishaashley #morning

Visually impaired version! The sky is an overcast soft dove grey, with just a little pearly silver showing through here and there, and the promise of rain on the air. I was woken by some very heavy-footed seagulls on the roof, who then started knocking, as if they'd like to come in

Good morning! #trishaworld #trishaashley #morning

My roses are rioting!

Visually impaired version! A soft, pale lilac early morning sky, turned silver-gilt behind the castle as the sun rose. The garden is still deliciously cool, shady and scented with roses, and Mr Blackbird was waiting for breakfast, pausing only to listen to the slow clop of horse's hooves on the road

Good morning! #trishaworld #trishaashley #morning

Visually impaired version! A soft, overcast pale dove grey morning sky, though I caught the brief dawn flush of silver-pink behind the castle. The birds from the rooky wood are having one of their shouting matches with the gulls, but the woodpigeons sound muffled and far away

Visually impaired version! An oppressively heavy morning, without last night's threatened thunderstorm. The dawn sky was light mother-of-pearl and the sky smudged with indecisive dove-grey clouds. #trishaashley #morning #trishaworld #blind #visualimpairment

Good morning! #trishaworld #trishaashley #morning

Visually impaired version! A softer, clouded grey-blue early morning with smudged patches of silver. The garden is still deliciously cool and shady and the huge clump of curry plant is beginning to show it's yellow flowers. #trishaashley #morning #trishaworld #blind #visualimpairment

Good morning! #trishaworld #trishaashley #morning

The sky may still be a hazy ice blue, but already the morning is hotting up and there is warmth in the bars of pale gold sunshine falling through the slats of the window blind. In the garden, the roses are starting to riot, in shades of deep pink, pale lemon and delicate white

Good morning! #trishaworld #trishaashley #morning

Visually impaired version! I awoke to the soft shoe shuffle of seagulls on the roof and a gentle grey-blue sky just starting to turn silvery behind the castle. It's still cool and shady in the garden, the night-daisies still asleep and only one bee busy in the lavender

Good morning! #trishaworld #trishaashley #morning

Visually impaired version! A pretty dawn over the castle, with thin ripples of amber, silver and pearl between strands of oyster-shell blue. I was woken by the heavy rattle of clawed feet on the roof and a lot of very loud, harsh cawing - not exactly the dawn chorus I'd hoped for

Good morning! #trishaworld #trishaashley #morning

Visually impaired version! A clear, pale azure blue morning, with just a few pearl-white clouds over the mountains and a little softly golden sunshine slanting in through the window. #trishaashley #morning #trishaworld #blind #visualimpairment

Good morning! #trishaworld #trishaashley #morning

Visually impaired version! A pale amber dawn behind the castle in a streaky mauve-grey and pearl sky. The birds from the rooky wood shout harshly when I go out into the garden, but they won't come down until I go back in, by which time the blackbirds have eaten their fill

Good morning! #trishaworld #trishaashley #morning

Visually impaired version! A soft, sea-scoured mother-of-pearl early morning, in shades of pale lilac-grey, oyster shell blue and silver. The blackbirds were waiting for breakfast and the Himalayan geraniums are starting to bloom - it's good to be home. #trishaashley #morning #trishaworld #blind

Good morning! #trishaworld #trishaashley #morning

Visually impaired version! A dark grey sky has slowly given way to ice blue with ripples of silvery cloud, and the first pale sunshine is sneaking in. #trishaashley #morning #trishaworld #blind #visualimpairment

Good morning! #trishaworld #trishaashley #morning

Visually impaired version! A dark, damp dove grey morning sky, the outlines of the buildings hazy with rain. The only birds to be seen are two pigeons, who look as if they're having a quiet conversation. #trishaashley #morning #trishaworld #blind #visualimpairment

Good morning! #trishaworld #trishaashley #morning

Visually impaired version! I heard the owl just as the sky started to grow lighter this morning, somehow always a magical sound. Dawn was a fleeting hint of silver-pink behind the castle, a lifting both of the dove grey sky and also my heart. #trishaashley #morning #trishaworld #visualimpairment

Good morning! #trishaworld #trishaashley #morning

Visually impaired version! A strange, raggedly patched early sky in silver and dove has given way to great sheets of dark mauve-grey cloud and bursts of sun and rain. #trishaashley #morning #trishaworld #blind #visualimpairment

Good morning! #trishaworld #trishaashley #morning

Visually impaired version! An early sky rippled in silver, bright amber and pale lavender, briefly pushing aside the dove grey clouds to let the first golden bands of sunlight sneak in. #trishaashley #morning #trishaworld #blind #visualimpairment

Good morning! #trishaworld #trishaashley #morning

Trip to Portmeirion today on Robin's birthday - loved this white rhododendron!

Visually impaired version! A heavily marbled early morning sky, in silver and flat dark-mauve grey. The blackbird was waiting for me, so his usual breakfast elsewhere must not have transpired. #trishaashley #morning #trishaworld #blind #visualimpairment

Good morning! #trishaworld #trishaashley #morning

Visually impaired version! An overcast soft dove grey morning, though with one bright, silver-gilt glowing band behind the castle and along the tops of the hills at dawn. The seagulls were making piratical 'Aaaar!' noises, a preliminary to robbing the tourists later of their fish and chips

Good morning! #trishaworld #trishaashley #morning

Visually impaired version! The leaden early sky has turned to a softer light mauve-grey, with ragged, bright silver bands. Mr Blackbird has abandoned me in the mornings, so I think he must have a better breakfast option elsewhere... #trishaashley #morning #trishaworld #blind #visualimpairment

Good morning! #trishaworld #trishaashley #morning

Visually impaired version! A misty-edged morning, the early sky a pale pearly silver-grey. There was much birdsong first thing, before the birds in the rooky wood woke up and the seagulls began to circle, screaming. #trishaashley #morning #trishaworld #blind #visualimpairment

Good morning! #trishaworld #trishaashley #morning

Visually impaired version! A dense, chill, lilac-grey sky, with just a few low ripples of silver over the castle. The birds in the rooky wood are cawing loudly, but showing no inclination to take off. #trishaashley #morning #trishaworld #blind #visualimpairment

Good morning! #trishaworld #trishaashley #morning

Good luck to all my fellow shortlisters! #RONAS26 #booktok #christmas #book #award
