Sturminster Newton ~ Dorset

Another lovely building in a pretty looking village.

Thank you Jaap. It is a lovely little town.

Another charming thatched building, Rosa. I am off to click on your video link now. Cheers, Joe

Cor blimey, Rosa, did that CBS reporter say, "Only in England, can you find a thousand-year old flour mill."? He obviously hasn't been to Scotland. Cheers, Joe

Thank you Joe. Cheers, Rosa.

He obviously hasn't. LOL! He wouldn't hear cor blimey up there though would he ;o)

The oaths tend to be a bit stronger in Scotland, Rosa. LOL. Cheers, Joe

He probably thinks Scotland is England.

You should hear the way tourists from the US pronounce Edinburgh. Don't even mention Kirkaldy . LOL.

I saw Garry Puckett (remember The Union Gap?) in theatre in Weymouth a few years ago and he was having a joke at how they pronounce the town name and how we do. LOL!!

De belles habitations,un vrai plaisir a les regarder... Bonne soirée.

Good evening Malik and thank you for your kind comment.

I agree with Malik!!!!!!!!!

Thank you Nouchet.

A superb series of images Rosa, my must revisit list gets longer as the weeks go by, Blimey I do like the link.

Same here Roger. Won't be able to get to most of the places on my list this year!
Great link isn't it. A good news story :-))

Fabulous additions to the group Rosa,

Thank you posting your image in the group

Thank you Roger.

What a lovely looking set of buildings.................and just the sort of places you imagine when you think about the English countryside - thatched roofs, part-timbered, quirky shaped and even little Union flags flying!

All very nicely captured in great depth and detail Rosa. I love the traditional fruit and veg shop!

I loved the video in the link................the American presenting style is a bit over the top for me though :-))

It's a lovely little town Keith. They even have a Theatre called The Exchange and they have some great well known acts there. I only hope it survives this dreadful period.

Thank you for your kind comments. Just to the left of the fruit and veg shop is a good electrical shop and near that is a great butchers and deli who sell the locally milled flour.

Glad you liked the link cor blimey!

belles maisons traditionnelles

What a lovely place, Rosalyn !

Thank you Christiane. A place I have known well all my life :-)

Thank you so much dear Angelique. For a small town they have so many good little shops.
Have a good evening. Bisous :)

I think it’s lovely there ! Have a nice evening, Rosa !

Thank you Ulrich. They even have a camera shop there :-)

Wunderschöne alte Reethäuser, Rosa.
Sehr schön gezeigt.
Freundliche Grüße und einen angenehmen Abend
Erich

Thank you very much Erik. The town used to have the largest cattle market in Europe. Long gone now though :(
Kind regards,
Rosa.

In the event of a second wave, fortunately we will not run out of either.

I think I may run out of one of them Maurice ;-)

A very pretty village,and Lovely buildings!!!
I like these images very much!

Best wishes
Füsun

Thank you very much Füsun.

Best wishes,
Rosa.

Très belles photos. Nicole.

Thank you very much Nicole.

It's a beautiful village. I love the thatched roofs. There are occasional ones in Scotland but they can't compare with the beautiful ones in England

Thank you for your kind comments Jean. The centre of the small town has not changed very much, but they used to have the largest livestock market in Europe. Now sadly gone, but a superb theatre has taken its place. They also have a fabric & crafts warehouse and a kitchenware warehouse....that's why I am often over there :-))

The history of places like this is always so surprising. Hard to imagine what it must have been like with the largest market in Europe. And how quickly the traces vanish. I would definitely like the crafts warehouse.

They have a lovely memorial to the market days, but my pictures were disappointing. I'm determined to get better ones next time I'm there.

The museum is a lovely building very Lilliput Lane !!! Some one must make a living finding these stories for them , maybe Leicester will be next for them now that the sweat shops that have been known about for donkey's years have suddenly been discovered

I think they got the story from The One Show and it was also briefly on the national news Peter. I just heard on the radio news that the places you mention are being looked into. Sounds about time too. Have a nice day. Sophie's last day at school yesterday, so she's visiting me today.

Buenas y bonitas fotografías. Buen miércoles, Rosa.

Thank you José. It is pretty and a very enterprising little town.
I hope you have a good Wednesday also.

OOOHHHHHHHHHH !!!

SMILES AND TEATS !!
E
I SO REMEMBER VISITING THERE ONE SUMMER SEASON MANY YEARS AGO. I WOULD GIVE ANYTHING TO GO BACK NOW

They did a good job of the filming I thought Pam. You would love the town. They have a material and craft warehouse, a kitchenware warehouse and a great little camera shop, all within walking distance of the town. The camera shop is actually in the centre.

excellent both!

Thank you Annemarie.
Happy Wednesday.

superbe série et maisons********************
je vais mieux merci Rosa c'est gentil ! belle journée ! gros bisous♫

Thank you dear Valeriane. I am so pleased you are better.
Bisous and have a good evening.

A beautiful series of these marvellous old buildings, Rosa. Sadly, when I tried the video I had a message that "this video is not available in your country".

Thank you George. Oh that's a shame. It often happens to me with videos shown on here.
I think you would have enjoyed it.

A delightful series of imagea and a great video Rosa - that made me smile. It looks a fascinating place to visit.

Thank you so much Carol. Yes a great place to visit. It even has a camera shop.
