Weekend in Abergavenny

|
| 12:37:46 Odd picture to start on - Chie and Vera (with my hat on) in front of some kind of building machinery. | 12:46:42 A lovely salmon pink painted farmhouse, apparently from the Gower peninsula. | 12:55:28 A very large pig! Could really have down with something in the foreground to give a sense of scale. |
|
|
|
| 12:58:27 ....and now some fairly small pigs! | 12:58:33 I'm not totally sure whether or find piglets cute or somehow slightly unnerving... | 12:59:12 Given my recent hat purchase, I was thought a picture of this ilk was very much appropriate. |
|
|
|
| 12:59:20 Slightly unnecessary picture of the farmyard. | 13:01:09 Two ducks having a chat. | 13:16:33 Vera and Chie 'neath a thatched roof. |
|
|
|
| 13:17:52 ...the other side of the house with the thatched roof (which, as I have the guidebook here in front of me, I can tell you is in fact Nant Wallter Cottage, from Camarthernshire. | 13:20:45 A cat. I don't think this had been deconstructed and reconstructed like all the other exibits. | 13:32:48 A tollhouse from just outside of Aberystwyth, |
|
|
|
| 13:33:05 ...I rathe liked this sign - reminiscent on the one at Whitchurch bridge. | 13:47:19 Vera, Chie and I sitting outside the little Post Offcie. | 13:52:28 The cockpit - actually quite a pleasant little amphitheatre inside. |
|
|
|
| 13:56:47 Inside the old shop - and I was filled with that irrational sense of nostalgia for things I could never have actually known in my own lifetime... | 13:57:08 ...and strange I found the cigarette display quite interesting. | 13:58:13 ...and of course Bovril! |
|
|
|
| 14:48:48 Walking down a leafy lane... | 14:48:53 ...rather nice rusty coloured leaves up in the canopy there. | 14:49:02 Blurry picture of me... |
|
|
|
| 14:49:04 Picture of my back, with a bit of tweed cap detail. | 14:49:08 What a dapper country gentleman! | 14:52:09 The Y Garreg Fawr Farmhouse. |
|
|
|
| 15:40:15 View through a slotted window to a shire horse and carriage. | 15:41:09 I suppose you could call this an experiment in composition. | 15:45:22 Abernodwydd Farmouse, about as rustic as it gets. |
|
| |
| 15:51:25 Kennixton Farmhouse seen across the fields. Apparently it was painted in this vivid colour to ward off evil spirits. | 15:53:08 Me, Vera and Chie. |
