St Johns' Almshouse ~ Sherborne

St Johns' Almshouse ~ Sherborne
DSC 1519

HFF from St Johns' Almshouse, Sherborne.

PiP, Sherborne Antiques Centre: I took the picture in PiP from the other side of the road and didn't notice until I downloaded it, that Harry and Meghan were even in it.....with dummies (pacifiers) in their mouths!!

Istvan Farkas, Frans Schols, photosofghosts, J. Gafarot and 45 other people have particularly liked this photo

The PiP is absolutely hilarious!! :-))) Pacifiers...because they behaved like babies? ;-)
The Almshouse is impressively beautiful! I'm sorry though that the PiP caught my eye first ;-))

HFF, Rosa, and have a happy coronation weekend. I'll be sure to watch the ceremony (at least parts of it or whatever they're going to show on TV here). My mom was a big fan of the British royal family, so I ought to follow her footsteps :-))

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Edna Edenkoben club
That's what I thought Edna! LoL! You've got to have a bit of fun with that pair haven't you ;-))
The weather doesn't sound too good here for the weekend, but it'll all go ahead anyway.
If you get any sunshine tomorrow, please send it our way!!
Have a great weekend Edna.

Edna Edenkoben club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne club

Sun with occasional clouds expected for tomorrow in Karlsruhe. If my sending you sunshine won't work, why not have the coronation over here then? If you let me know before 8 a.m. tomorrow morning, I could still have things arranged for the afternoon ;-)))

Beautiful architecture in the main image Rosa............as always, I love the colour of the stonework and the elegant arches (including the windows).

The PiP is hilarious.............I love their view on Harry and Megan and also the disembodies head of Charles floating at the top of t he door :-)))

Enjoy the extended weekend.
12 months ago.
Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Keith Burton club
Thank you very much. The almshouses are next to the Abbey, but there was too much scaffolding up to take a decent picture.

I thought it was hilarious too Keith :-)) I love a good sense of humour, which is much needed with that pair.

Have a good weekend whatever the weather!

Superb image of the Almshouses, you've caught the mellow colours and contrasts so well Rosa.

As for the PiP - superb find! I just love the irreverence, especially Harry and Meghan. I don't understand why he's come over if the family have really been so "awful" to him.

I wish I could fave both. HWW
