A Weekend in The Borders
|
|
|
| 13:25:26 Vera and Robin in front of Croft Castle. | 13:27:45 The church next door to the castle. | 13:27:59 |
|
|
|
| 13:28:07 | 14:01:22 | 14:03:41 Some rather striking black tulips outside the church. |
|
|
|
| 14:06:04 | 14:07:46 The castle gardens... | 14:10:50 Apple trees I think. |
|
|
|
| 14:11:25 | 14:11:42 | 14:12:45 Vera in the orchard. |
|
|
|
| 14:13:36 Bluebells! | 14:13:45 | 14:13:53 |
|
|
|
| 14:14:12 A bee busying himself about his work... | 14:14:26 | 14:14:31 ...very laden with pollen. |
|
|
|
| 14:16:09 | 14:17:53 | 14:18:31 |
|
|
|
| 14:18:53 | 14:20:21 A couple of last views of Croft castle before heading off. | 14:31:59 |
|
|
|
| 15:02:33 The first village on our tour of Herefordshire villages - Eardisland. This is Robin's favourite building in the village. | 15:02:38 | 15:02:48 |
|
|
|
| 15:03:02 Spectacular isn't it? | 15:03:43 | 15:04:25 Vera taking in a bit of sun whilst Robin and I went on a whistlestop architectural tour around Eardisland. |
|
|
|
| 15:04:30 | 15:05:12 Isn't that lovely? | 15:05:34 |
|
|
|
| 15:06:11 The Dovecote. | 15:07:07 Rather nice Georgian house here next to a more typical timber framed cottage covered in Wisteria. | 15:07:12 This would make rather a nice postcard. |
|
|
|
| 15:07:54 | 15:08:25 I feel the tweed jacket is very appropriate here. | 15:13:30 The village pub, and Britain's oldest AA box. |
|
|
|
| 15:14:58 A black and white dog and a black and white house. | 15:15:04 Close up on the dog. | 15:33:00 Another dovecote en route to the next village. |
|
|
|
| 15:44:49 This is Weobley, very nice high street here. | 15:46:32 The Unicorn Inn. | 15:49:26 |
|
|
|
| 15:53:57 Lovely blue sky now. | 15:56:58 Shame about that red car... | 15:57:12 ...ah that's better. |
|
|
|
| 15:57:29 Even the garage was picturesque. | 15:59:00 | 15:59:07 The Red Lion Hotel. |
|
|
|
| 16:09:33 Afternoon tea. Very nice scones here. | 16:09:41 Lovely cake stand. | 17:18:46 The Rhyspence Inn, on the way home. |

| 17:18:54 ...and again. |
