Lazy post today, not feeling too sparkling.
Thought I would take a few photos of our morning constitutional, on this grey and rather damp Autumn morning. I hate wet autumn days, they are all too brown.
Right, we start up the lane
Past the Church
Then it's up Byron Street, with Gop hill clearly seen dominating the village

Right, we start up the lane
The view of the rectory from the lych gate
The school on the main road. All quiet as it's half term
We ambled down London Road and across the village green in front of the village Hall
Not a soul to be seen from the London Road Cottages
Up High Street , past Auntie Glads
Then its past the pensioner bungalows and Marion Jones' very VERY scary rabbits
On to the village pond ( its in the trees honest )
Up Well Street
Beyond the chapel
Back up to London road where the newly renovated Victorian semis have been put up for sale
Turned the corner back into Chapel Street
The Chapel building was constructed originally as a market hall in 1700
And finally, after getting home , there waiting on the corner were the DIY lesbians
with bin bags of donated bread for the field livestock
Now THAT was a great walk/tour, John! Thanks. The quietness of your village was palpable. Just lovely.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the remainder of your day.
Crikey! Those rabbits are very sinister loooking. Gogeous dogs, as always. X
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU for giving us yanks a tour of your village. it's pretty. quiet country life at its best.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely walk you have even on a grey, wet day. We too are having a very grey, wet day here too. Love the photo of the pups!
ReplyDeleteTrelawnyd has become a ghost village ruled by The Rabbits of Evil - Margaret and Dennis and their baby son Damien. SOS - run for Gop Hill!
ReplyDeleteThey have scared me ever seen i first saw them.... Look at the eyes....look at the eyes
DeleteAnd also the evil smile showing teeth....
DeleteWalking Dead creepy.
Thanks John, I'm not feeling too sparkling either xx
ReplyDeleteDamp and grey here also. Thank you for the lovely wander around the village. Have a restful inside day. Maybe all the dogs and Albert will be snoozy as well.
ReplyDeleteAh. Thank you. A lovely stroll!
ReplyDeleteBut yes- those rabbits are just disturbing.
The rabbits do look pretty scary. But then so does Winnie....
ReplyDeleteThe village was remarkably quiet. Breakfast time perhaps?
Sometimes , nick you can not see a single soul....i guess many people are working.
DeleteThe next day, the walk may take an hour longer as u stop to talk to everyone
What a lovely peaceful village.
ReplyDeleteDawn,.....the road can be very busy and noisey
DeleteI'm in a row of back to back terraced houses sà ndwiched between 2 main roads that lead to motorways. It's sirens galore here and I can't sleep without them, weird.

DeleteI really liked taking that "walk" with you. It's raining and blowing here today. I love that there is so much history there. How old would you say those homes are on High street (Auntie Glad's)? -Jenn
ReplyDeleteAuntie gladys' home is one of the oldest in the village and was originally part of a school built in the late 1600 s
DeleteI enjoyed that walk. Tired now though so feet up and a cup of tea.
ReplyDeleteThose rabbits are hideous.
ReplyDeleteFrom the looks of it everyone apart from you and the lesbians (and dogs, of course) were still in bed. Or maybe they'd all been abducted by aliens disguised as scary rabbits.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos, we have a very pretty village which unfortunately has an unbelievably busy road slap through the middle, apparently a bypass has been asked for since 1957 oh well.
ReplyDeleteI love the photo of your gorgeous pooches and the sinister rabbits are hilarious x
Twiggy we too have a busy road, but strangely it looks quiet when i photographed the london road cottages
DeleteI had to have a nosy at the semis up for sale, quite nice for the money.
ReplyDeleteOh I thoroughly enjoyed this ! I love your village .. I want to live in a village .. an old English village.
ReplyDeleteActually I live in an old USA village but somehow, the charm is lacking.
or maybe it is just the pups :)
Thanks for the tour!
ReplyDeleteI so enjoyed the walk about! Makes me long for olden days when the pace was not so rushed.
ReplyDeleteGreat walk, especially with your companions, but I couldn't help thinking, what do you do when some fool driver comes through too fast? Not many verges. (I'm remembering when Albert was nearly run over ... wish we could tell them, 'Now, stay to the side. Humans can be idiots sometimes.')
ReplyDeleteThanks for the walk, demonic looking bunnies

ReplyDeleteI love the lush surroundings. As we fade into winter it reminds me that there are other places I could be.
ReplyDeleteMary is missing! Or was she in a baby carrier on your back? :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed seeing your route - thank you for taking the time to take photos.
I will lead train her after toilet training...i am seriously considering a baby carrier for her
DeleteThanks for taking us on your walk! I hope your sparkle comes back soon!
ReplyDeleteYou have the best place to walk; all the oulde charming stone buildings, not a soul to be seen, looks peaceful.
ReplyDeleteNow that is a walk I would take even in the rain. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLovely village and walk.
ReplyDeleteMade so much better by three gud dugs.
What you need to do is get a puppy carrier that you can strap on to your chest. That way Mary can come along and the village gossips will have a field day with that one.
cheers, parsnip
Now thats an idea
DeleteSo lovely. I can hardly believe it - I think you live in a fairy tale. Thanks so much for all the pictures!
ReplyDeleteI noy showed you the nice bits.....the council house with the bin bag indows for instance, i left out
DeleteThanks for the tour John! Those rabbits are not very warm and cuddly looking are they? :-) I hope you have a bit of your sparkle back now!
ReplyDeleteAn early night onight me thinks
DeleteI was looking to see if your walked past the house with the black bin bags and hoped for a picture. Are the bin bags still on the windows and have they started to tidy the garden?
ReplyDeleteInteresting village that you live in.
I did walk past and yes the bin bags are still up in the living room.........dreadful.......a photo was innapropriate me thinks x
DeleteLoved ambling with you. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a beautiful place to live. It reminds me of a wonderful romantic movie set.
ReplyDeleteRemember movie sset is sometimes two dimentional
DeleteDid you get sunshine this afternoon? We popped to Edenshine at Afonwen for lunch and the weather was beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI'm always tempted to drive the extra 7 odd miles to turn up on your doorstep, but I wouldn't be so rude 😉X
Call in anytime and yes the sunshine came out and all looked better in the world
DeleteVillage life in the 21st century. ☺️
ReplyDeleteNo people?
DeleteVery charming.
ReplyDeleteThat Winnie just makes me laugh.
Still sulking!
DeleteNice to see village scenes. Next time take photos on a nice sunny day.
ReplyDeleteNice walk, even in the rain, thank you John. Wouldn't want to run into those bunnies on a dark and stormy night !
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely place for an amble... unlike here, where you're likely to be shot.
ReplyDeleteMary in a puppy carrier strapped to your chest would be quite the sight to see!
What a beautiful village! How lucky are you all. I love cool damp Autumn days.
ReplyDeleteSo much to look at as you go along! I like my bush walks but at times I'd like a bit more variety to keep me out of my spiralling mind as I walk. :)
ReplyDeleteI can only assume those rabbits are for Halloween as they seem to be channeling Donny Darko. Are they possessed? Or just gateways for eldritch and squamous Chthulian beings of unspeakable evil to invade our universe? Yes I've been on a Lovecraft binge - calamari will not be featuring on our menu any time soon. LOL
ReplyDeleteLovely tour around your Village. Guess I have been following your blog for quite some time now as I recognised a few places!
ReplyDeleteBloody hell! Demonic rabbits in Trelawnyd.
ReplyDeleteOh my gawd ..... those rabbits are THE most sinister looking bunnies EVER. I think even Rosy would pass them by quickly.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't look 'very brown' to me, it looks like a very grey day :-(
I really enjoyed this post (even the scary rabbits)!
ReplyDeleteI love a village tour. It looks very peaceful.
ReplyDeleteScary rabbits indeed! I wouldn't want them in my garden, thank you!
