Overall today I think we had about 8 people, doing various amounts of time. We usually have a monthly Saturday working party but it has rained so much we have not managed any this year!

That is me, especially now after 4 hrs working in the church yard! 🤣

I believe there are some of them. The Rothschild's still own property nearby and Sir Evelyn de Rothschild, who died in 2022 still lived a lot of the time at another nearby building which is held by the National Trust.

You can post up to 4 photos at a time and that is how they are shown. You can select 4 at once. T

Thanks Lori. Except for the road one which I would have taken when hubby was driving, they would have been taken by hubby. 🤣

Thanks 😊 😊

This is the Grade 1 listed building which is near the church and the reason it is a conservation area. You may recognise it from Batman Begins, as well as quite a few other films.

Since the time of the Domesday Survey the church has existed in some form. The church dates back from about 1220 but has been developed over time. The most recent major development was in the 1850s by the Rosebery family, part of the Rothschild family who owned most of the land around the area.

Luckily we have good historic listing of properties in the UK and when planning is applied for they often require a report from heritage to ensure it is in keeping and / or is not destroying a listed building. The church is a Grade II* listed building in a conservation area.

Back doing a few more hours strimming / #gardening at our local church. Today we have a few more people helping plus a dog, not just hubby and me. It should look lovely for the arts festival this weekend.

Gorgeous 🌝🌜🌛

No, our girls love some shut eye. He does look cute, sleeping while watching the world. 😻

I love Amsterdam, it is a lovely city to wander around looking at all the canals and buildings. Only ever been for work, but had a bit of free time to explore, we so must put it on our list of places to visit on holiday.

They are stunning. It is somewhere we would love to visit again but the red States in particular are not on our vacation list at the moment.

So true!

These are from very early in Bruges. Love it.

The sky is beautiful, I assume that was early as there are not many people about, lovely. 😃

They are all such brazen liars. She won't just say, yes I thought and said that but I want power so fall in line.

Lovely. In 2019 on vacation we flew into Nashville and our first stop was Bryson City, which we loved. We may have driven that road but I think we took the route via Chattanooga! 🤣

Love it. Gives them some great shade and a place to scratch. 🤣Been to Avebury a couple of times.

We are lucky to have some lovely countryside near us. Although they are keen on building over it.

Yes I like the noise I was just not sure who had them in their field. 😃😃

That's a beautiful bridge. 😃

Strange I have not seen Guilt. As a Scot I would hope I would not need the CC but you never know. 🤣. It is on BBC iPlayer so I should give it a go.

Happy Monday. Nothing better than an ice cream! Have a lovely day. 🐕🐕

A very tired kid. 🤣

That was originally my plan but hubby disappeared to his man cave last night so I thought I would at least start it. 🤣

Will be watching it again no doubt 🤣

Where we live it is mainly arable farms but there are sheep who visit our neighbours paddocks throughout the year to keep the grass down.

I made a big mistake and started watching #Bridgerton at about 8pm this evening and although I wanted an early night it is now just past midnight and I am upset I need to wait a month for the final episodes. 😥

We have a lot of them! 🐑🐑

Beautiful ❤️

I know our garden is full of them at the moment.

Your new site looks wonderful. Well done. 👏👏

They do look small. Having wandered round a few stately homes in the UK, they do always look a bit on the small side. 🤣🤣

Good luck. Make sure you tell us if it works. 🤞🤞

It is lovely when you speak to strangers when out and about. You probably also made his day as you spoke to him about his interests and did not just order and move on.

Scotland is wonderful. I am originally from Glasgow. 😃

Amsterdam is lovely. It is wonderful living in the countryside. Where I live is the best of both worlds, as we have countryside but I can get a train and be in London in a bit over an hour. Good luck with your job hunt.

I just get told I am being a teenager and not paying attention to other stuff. Now inside to watch TV so will stop. 🤣🤣

Thanks, it is, especially with all the buttercups.

So sorry, it is so hard to lose a fur baby. 💔

Looks gorgeous and peaceful.

See you later. Have a great time, are you moving on to France?

She is gorgeous. I would not question it, just enjoy it. 😻😻
