Dovecote ~ Tytherington

bonne journée chaude mon amie **********bisous et prenez bien soin de vous !

Thank you Angelique. I am going to the hairdressers and it's sooo hot!
I hope it is worth it ;-)) Take care and keep cool.
Bisous.

Admirable capture superbement prise sous cet angle... Bon mercredi salutaire.

Thank you very much Malik.
Take care and have a great Wednesday.

I love these different styles of architecture, Rosa. Interesting that the older style of architecture employs curves and circles. Cheers, Joe

Thank you Joe. An unusual dovecote, or should I say doocot! I think it looks older than it actually is. A nice entrance to the village. Cheers, Rosa.

An unusual roof the use of bricks would have been getting more common by then, with the hatred of dovecotes I wonder if many were destroyed . I hope you are keeping reasonably cool, there was rain early this morning so now it's humid :(((( enjoy your day Rosalyn

There were a couple of brickworks not too far away Peter. I didn't know there was a hatred of dovecotes. No rain yet but a faint breeze today. Still far too hot for me :(
Hope you have a good day too.

Only the lord of the manor and his family and guests ate the young birds, but the doves devastated the peasant farmers crops. i can understand their anger from the damage wood pigeons do on the allotment if it's not netted it's gone

Oh yes, I see what you mean Peter. A lot of netting used in my garden this year...a lesson learnt from last year!! Take care and have a good evening.

The most beautiful buildings. Settled into the landscape. It’s a very grand dovecote and a lovely shape.

Thank you for your kind comments Jean. These buildings give a nice entrance to the village I thought.

plein de charme

Thank you very much Dan.

Interesting old buildings indeed. I'm fascinated by Dovecotes, I doubt there are any in Australia and I've only heard of them here - it's hard to believe that the 'well off' actually built substantial buildings to house doves!

Thank you George. I would say this dovecote is one of the later ones built. Usually they are much older. They were often used as a source of food on large estates and many Abbeys and religious sites.

What a beautiful sight to see on approaching the village..............it looks especially attractive in the sunshine! A smashing shot Rosa.

I hope you're surviving this heat-wave OK. I have to admit it's becoming a bit much for us - especially trying to sleep at night. I shall be glad for some rain and cooler temperatures.

Our visitors went back yesterday...........it was wonderful to see them after so much time and sad to see them go, but hopefully we'll get down to see them again later in the year.

Many thanks for your kind comments Keith. Yes a fascinating group of buildings.

I have to admit it is too hot for me. I haven't slept very well, and like you, will be pleased to see rain! Sounds like it could be very heavy in places though. I had a hairdressers appointment today and that was extremely hot!

I am pleased that you you had such a lovely time with your family. I hope you get to visit them soon, as that east Devon coastline is gorgeous. I always loved Budleigh Salterton.

In the meantime, take care and keep cool!

On their last night, it was so hot they all slept downstairs in the living room (which was marginally cooler than upstairs). We had two fans going and the windows open!

Budleigh Salterton is a 10 min drive from our daughter's home and it's one of our favourite places to visit. We love the pebbled beach and there are a couple of really good ice-cream shops too!

Glad you made the hairdressers at last............I hope it was worth putting up with the heat :-)

I don't blame them! We're just not used to it are we :-))
The hairdresser cut too much off for my liking...but at least it grows quick.
I love watching where the estuary meets the sea at Budleigh Salterton.
I hope you get the chance to visit sometime soon.

WOW, this village must be very interesting to visit, Rosa !!!

Thank you Marie-claire. Yes it's a lovely place to visit and doesn't actually get that many tourists. I only met locals on my walk there. Have a good evening and keep cool!

Un beau patrimoine qui traverse le temps avec élégance !*******
Bonne soirée Rosalyn.

Thank you so much for your lovely comments Jocelyne.
Take care, keep cool and have a good evening :-))

Beautiful buildings and this typical architecture ! Very nice, Rosa !

Thank you Ulrich.
Have a nice day.

Nice historical farmhouse and good to see it survive in original condition.

Thank you Maurice.
A nice unspoilt village.

Lovely old buldings beautifully captured Rosa
and another great addition to the group!

Thank you posting your image in the group

Thank you very much Roger.

Hi Rosa

I must say that I do like these old villages, and your pictures of them.
Such a shame that visits this summer have not happened - for obvious reasons!

Best Wishes, and stay safe!!
Peter

Hi Peter,
Thank you for your much appreciated kind comments.
Hopefully things may be a little more like normal next year. I choose where I go very carefully. The villages I visit are quite close to home. I am lucky to be on the borders of three counties, so hop in and out of Wilts, Dorset and Somerset.

Take care and beast wishes,
Rosa.

JUST INHALE THE HISTORY

Yes, just what I love to do Pam :))

Mooier dan moderne gebouwen en interessanter

Yes, so often they are Fred.

Sehr romantisch, Rosalyn! ****

Thank you Lothar.

Beautiful set of constructions! The dovecote is particularly interesting!!!!!!!!!....... and the picture is "sehr romantisch" as Lothar says!!!!!!!!

Thank you very much Nouchet. Quite an unusual dovecote I thought.
You are a pair of romantics ;-))

Beautiful. Thanks for your visit

Thank you Annemarie.

An unusual place name, Rosa, and some very interesting architecture too.

The villages along this road are so quiet Amelia. Cyclists seem to have discovered it though.

Lovely composition of this collection of rural architecture of the 18th century Rosa. I am sure the modern sheds that farmers now erect are much more efficient, but.....;

Yes, I agree with your but Doug :-) I suppose we have to move with the times, but they never seem to be as visually pleasing as the old buildings.

Take care and have a good week,
Rosa.
