Hopeful-FF from Blandford Forum

Hopeful-FF from Blandford Forum
HFF ~ Blandford Forum is located on the banks of the River Stour in Dorset. Which explains why its name comes from Blaen-y-ford meaning 'the place near the ford'.

Thank you very much Carol. It was a lively market day in Blandford. I have quite a few books telling how place names came about. I find it very interesting also.

Thank you very much Günter. The clock tower was about the only thing visible of the church, as it was covered in scaffolding for repairs.

José Manuel Polo club
Fachadas llenas de color. La elevación del tiro justo por encima de la entrada he recordado que yo empleé alguna vez estos tiros por elevación para liberarme de las multitudes que se agolpan. Por ejemplo, en Florencia está la “Porta del Paradiso” pues como hay que apreciar de cerca bellos grabados, el guía se puso junto a la puerta y un rebaño humano a su alrededor y yo, mordiéndome el labio, al final saqué lo que pude por encima de sus cabezas. HFF Rosa.

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to José Manuel Polo club
There was a busy market along the road, so I went above the canopies of the stalls. Thankfully the Georgian buildings make up for it. You did the right thing on your trip to Florence Jose Manuel. Sometimes people can be a nuisance ;-))
Thank you for your kind comments and I wish you a good weekend.

Lovely colourful architecture and some nice contrasts between the honey-coloured stone and the red brickwork (and the different types of brickwork too). The flags add another colourful dimension as well.

Interesting to know how the place got it's name!

As you're interested in place names I think you'd like this map: marvellousmaps.com/shop/stgs-great-british-place-names-map?gclid=CjwKCAjwq5-WBhB7EiwAl-HEkrUcDkMREEBDAJJkU9onu9zz9hG7qImfIELoqkPCBIdasdVrFR8boRoChmQQAvD_BwE

I bought one a few years ago for my daughter and the kids and they love it.

Enjoy the rest of your day Rosa............and have an enjoyable weekend.

Thank you very much Keith. Blandford has some lovely Georgian buildings.

I bought that map for my middle brother after you telling me about it. We had some great laughs. Shortly after I took a photo of him beside the Shitterton village sign in Dorset :-) I think they must be very used to that!

Take care and have a great weekend. I have Sophie and Luna visiting, so a busy one for me!

I think you should Maggie. It's market day on Thursdays and if you park behind the Morrison's store you would be between the High Street and the lovely river walks.
