Mere, Wiltshire.

Mere, Wiltshire.
Mere is just 6 miles (10km) from where I live, but the journey there takes me through 3 counties. My home in Somerset, through Bourton in Dorset and on to Mere in Wiltshire.

The first PiP is the Old Ship Inn, which is now flats. It used to be a good and lively meeting place until about 6 years ago.

The second PiP is a cat doing what cats do best....finding the best place in the sunshine!

Thank you very much Günter. The Old Ship In was such a popular place. I feel quite sad that it is no longer a pub. It is a beautiful building inside and out.

Wishing you a good evening. Best regards, Rosa.

A lovely set of images Rosa, The Ship looks to be an old coaching Inn and has had an interesting history I suspect.

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Roger (Grisly) club
Yes a beautiful coaching Inn Roger. I guess it's better as dwellings than to be left to deteriorate.
Many thanks for your kind comments.

Has the town has been evacuated for some reason - it seems deserted? :-)))

Anyway, this is a nicely composed shot. I love the sunshine and the architecture, especially that rather beautiful clock tower.

The Old Ship Inn looks really beautiful from the outside..........such a shame that it's no longer a pub..............but I suppose housing is also needed in these countryside towns as well. Nice to see they kept the sign though.

Love the cat in the window..............personally, I'd love some sunshine to bask in!

Enjoy the rest of your week Rosa :-)

PS: I've just searched your photo-stream for photos you've taken in Mere.............are you working for their Tourist Board?

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Keith Burton club
It was a Sunday Keith ;-)) Yes a real shame to lose the Old Ship Inn. It was always a happy and lively place to meet up with friends. I was astonished when I heard it was closing down.

Cat's always find the sunniest, warmest place! I think we could all do with a little basking in the sunshine :-)

Ha ha, I would happy work for Mere's Tourist Board, even unpaid! I have always liked the place. It's very friendly and has a good vibe!

Thanks for all your kind and amusing comments. Have a good evening Keith.

Estupendo reportaje. En la foto de presentación se ve un aspecto general del pueblo, destaca la torre reloj. El primer PiP me gusta mucho esa fachada de piedra bien iluminada y ventanas blancas con mosaico de cristales. El gato ya no caza ratones, ni aunque los hubiera.

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to José Manuel Polo club
Thank you very much Jose Manuel. I am pleased you like the first PiP. I have always like this handsome building. The cat has a good life I think ;-)) The mice are safe!

A nice set here Rosa. We too used to have three county lines near us (Lancashire, West Riding of Yorkshire and Derbyshire), all in a radius of about 3 miles but now that has changed somewhat. So many of the old pubs and hotels converted to flats and apartments now. A shame really.

Cheers. Herb

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Herb Riddle club
Sorry for the late reply Herb. It's nice to be so close to 3 counties :-)
Bourton in Dorset is the only part of Dorset north of the A303.
In Wincanton one of the banks is now the Police Station. It's nice to have them back in the middle of the town.
Cheers, Rosa.

You're so lucky to be able to visit 3 attractive counties so easily, Rosa. I love the mellow stonework of the clock-tower and the ex-pub. I like you don't think the cat would bother with any mouse, but I'd like to change places with it. Just to sit in a warm, comfortable and sunny window would be magic.

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Amelia club
It is nice to go from county to county so easily. The clock tower is particularly attractive I have always thought. If only we could be as relaxed as this cat, in the sunshine Amelia :-))

A fine collection from this nice looking village Rosa. Shame about the Pub, but I suppose people have to live somewhere. Must be a hard life for that particular cat;-))

All the best, Doug

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Doug Shepherd club
Thank you very much Doug. The pub was empty for quite a while. I used to imagine what I would do with it if I owned it....sadly my lottery ticket didn't come up with the goods ;-))

All the best, Rosa.
