A Stoned Barn

One of the old barns. You can tell because it's made out of the same stones as the fences. Of course that's sort of the only stone around. TTFN BJ

Tagging

Do you see the sheep with the red bum? That's how some of the sheep are marked for ownership. They spray paint their bums. As you go around there are some with blue or green bums. It puts a new spin on tagging. TTFN BJ

Where the Stories Happened

Behind the window on the right, was the room where Beatrix Potter wrote the Peter Rabbit Stories. She even has a garden, of course most of the people in England have gardens. Hummm. I guess that makes me a real desert rat, no garden. But my weeds are doing great. TTFN BJ

Beautiful Light

The church at the bottom of the hill has some really beautiful stained glass windows. You have a small church in a lot of British murder mysteries, this would have been a great setting. Maybe I read to many murder mystery books. Nah! TTFN BJ
