I couldn’t quite believe the blue of the sky this afternoon. The temperature and feeling around the village was springlike and after a short sleep Mary and I went out to post letters.
Today is the first day of Bridget’s foodbank and the telephone box on
Well Street was filled
The younger children are back in school and their squeals at playtime made
Trelawnyd come alive ago
The chapel and
Christine and Bryn’s old house is up for sale.
It doesn’t look as though it was originally built in 1700.
Once a corn and wheat market hall , then later a chapel, I wonder what it’s next resurrection will be
How lovely and heartwarming to see Bridget's food bank so well stocked. Well done to her and others involved. It's not often we hear of all the good that is done. And yes, blue skies and the promise of spring in the air. Fab. Viv
ReplyDeleteI suspect the left over food will be given to other food banks in the area
DeleteA foodbank - that's a great idea for an old telephone box.They make good 'little free libraries' too. It is warm today. I've just taken my youngest dog for a walk across the local commons and did so in a fleece and snood - mistake. Let's hope the weather stays like this. Reading a book by the woodburner with snow outside has its moment, but it's been wet, muddy and miserable of late. Spring thankfully is just around the corner.
ReplyDeleteThe daffodils are blooming in the garden too
DeleteDefinitely a feeling of spring in the air today. A couple of years ago, my local council tried to rent out 2 phoneboxes in the town centre for about £300 per week, per box. No takers, unsurprisingly! Nice to hear the children playing. Just like the olden days! xx
ReplyDelete,.....just like the olden days .........
DeleteYes, just got back from our walk, too. Spring is definitely on its way!
ReplyDeleteAnd lockdown is almost over
DeleteIn Wales!
DeleteFresh ice on the tree outside my window, better weather is promised in a couple of days. Such a pretty little village.
ReplyDeleteI’ve shown you the pretty bits
DeleteI think I shall up sticks and move my mob to your Village John-wouldn't that be nice for you!Around here the phone box(if there was one any longer-it's been wrecked and removed)-the yobs would pee on it all,Chuck it out,kick it in the road and continue use it as their drug den x
ReplyDeleteThere’s an empty cottage on high street
DeleteOoo-its Very nice isn't it(if I've got the right one)but unfortunately I don't think it's possible just now x
DeleteEver since seeing "Alice's Restaurant," I've wanted to live in a converted church or chapel. This would be so cool. With an art studio and gallery. If you can guarantee skies that blue most days, I'm there.
ReplyDeleteThe chapel has a small balcony which would make a lovely bedroom
DeleteThat is so kind to offer a foodbank. There are a lot of people struggling at the moment
ReplyDeleteAnd will be for a long time tocome
DeleteAm surprised there is still a telephone in the box. My village Parish Council “adopted” the village telephone box, BT removed the phone and there is now a Defib in there
ReplyDeleteIt’s on a main road and is a designated phone
DeleteLovely day here too. Warm!
ReplyDeleteAnd sunny...I ve loved the sun on my face today
DeleteThe kids there are back in school already?! I didn't realize that. Here we still have two weeks to go before students go back -- but it will be everybody at once, I think, not just the younger kids. That food bank is a great idea. Do people just come and take as needed?
ReplyDeleteChildren of key workers have always been in school but the nursery years went back this week
Deletelovely !
ReplyDeleteAre you going to start blogging again?
DeleteStill cold here with lots of snow. Very helpful food banks are springing up. In Cambridge, MA a full size fridge was put on the sidewalk next to a deli (for electricity) and anyone can add items or take what they needed. Food insecurity continues. That is a beautiful building and hopefully will be reinvented for good use in your village.
ReplyDeleteThe chapel is the last photo
DeleteThe one with the tower is our village hall
Love the blue sky.Dark and drizzly here in the south east of England but at least the temps are milder. Love the phone box idea.
ReplyDeleteMakes a change wales has the sun
DeleteA lovely day for a stroll!
ReplyDeleteThose skies look like our Arizona skies. And the chapel's next awakening? Probably a Starbuck's. 😉
ReplyDeleteI hope it’s a private house well loved
DeleteJust beautiful. What a great food bank too.
ReplyDeleteDid the chapel go out of business?
Unfortunately the congregation dwindled to around 6 people
DeleteI enjoyed the stroll through your beautiful village! It is thoughtful of Bridget to set up the foodbank. I'm sure those that need it will find it helpful. It looks like you have a good day with those beautiful blue skies!
ReplyDeleteI stood fir an age with my face to the sun
Deletenice food bank. we just had another 3" of snow today; I'mma sick of it!
ReplyDeleteBig spring hugs x
DeleteIt’s a designated phone mave , but I doubt it is ever used
ReplyDeleteLove the nicely placed and wrapped goodies in Bridget's phone pantry.
ReplyDeleteAfter our snow and ice melted two days ago, I noticed our volunteer purple crocus are coming up! Hint, hint: SPRING!!
Hugs!
It makes me so happy to hear that the young children are in school again. I recently saw a little preschool in our town with toddlers running around and nothing has made me feel more joy than seeing their delight in each others company. I will never again complain about hearing "Marco...Polo" at the community pool in summer!
ReplyDeleteMrs trellis pointed out the children
DeleteListen ...she whispered .......
That food bank is such a good idea John - you really do live in such a thoughtful community.
ReplyDeleteThat sky is so unbelievably blue! Spring is indeed on the way.
ReplyDeleteIn the tiny town of Smithsburg, Maryland, I once stole a peek into a church that had been turned into a home. It was beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
You can fight dropping engagement rates, no matter what the cause. It’s just a matter of taking the right kinds of actions. Here are problems you can look at, solutions for those problems, and actions you can take to boost your engagement rates once more. Before you can implement a solution, it’s generally a good idea to identify the problem. While most of the techniques I’ll discuss will apply regardless of the cause, if you did something that directly resulted in lower engagement rates, fixing it can be the fastest way to get them back. So, here are several possible causes for a dropping engagement rate. take a look on those and get rid of this issue. but whenever if you face this issue then you should contact technician team via Instagram Telefoonnummer, they are available 24/7.
ReplyDeleteThat is a blue sky. I was going to say something similar to Moaning Mavis's comment, but using more polite language (Ooooooh!)
ReplyDeleteGood to see the phone booth is being used for something. Sounds like things are slowly getting back to normal there.
