Thank you very much for your kind comments Gunter.

Lovely old buildings and an interesting pie shop. Yo Ho Ho, a steak and ale pastie sounds very tempting. :-)

Thank you George. If they tasted as good as they smelled, I'm sure you would be tempted :-)
I'll try one next time I visit!

Beautiful image, I love the flowers.

Thank you very much John.

A very colourful corner did you sample a pastie ? as near to a Cornish Pastie as they can get !!! i hope you are having a nice Monday Rosalyn I've just been to have a look at the allotment it was a bit warm

I didn't Peter, but next time! Too warm to be out too long today!
Much cooler indoors!!

Fine pictures again, Rosa !

Thank you very much Ulrich.

Beautiful...

Thank you Udo.

Florido rincón bien captado y con Barba Roja repartiendo empanadas para delicia de los pequeños. Buena semana, Rosa.

Thank you very much Jose Manuel. I was tempted by the aroma coming from the pasties, but I actually had tea and Spanish tortilla!

Oooh, interesting. I never found that pasty shot when I was there...........now I have to go back again........they seem to have a nice veggie selection.

Anyway, this is such a quintessentially English country house...........I love all the climbing plants and the overflowing pots of flowers. Beautifully captured Rosa.

I like the half-timbered building too.........presumably part of the pasty shop. The PiP and the pirate artwork is lovely.

A great pair of photos to start the week with..!!

My nose took me straight to it Keith....but didn't succumb to them on this visit, but next time!!

As you know there are some beautiful old building there and yes, you are right, the half-timbered building is the side of the pasty shop.

Thank you for your great comments and I hope you have a great new week.

A place I have never visited but how pretty this is Rosa. The white cottage surrounded by beautiful flowers is a delight and the pirate with his pastie made me smile.
Terrific shots and another of your dreamy village finds.

Have a lovely week

It's very nice Carole, if you're ever that way. I don't know what the connection is between the pirate and pasties....but it makes a good picture ;-))

Many thanks for your kind comments and I hope you have a good new week....very warm here!!

Superb! I've not heard of this village! Nice to know there is new stuff out there to explore one day!

Yes a nice place to explore Andy.
Thank you.

A very jolly pirate and lovely village scene

Thank you Gillian.

IDYLIC

Thank you Pam.

A beautiful, colourful corner.

Thank you very much Greg. It was my first visit to Hamble.

A very nice location for the pie shop Rosa. Love all the flowers and climbing plants on the white building, very nice! I would definitely fail to walk past the pie shop without trying a pastie!

All the best, Doug

Thank you very much Doug. The aroma was very tempting but I did walk on by :-))
Next time I visit I won't resist!

Best wishes, Rosa.

A very nice pirate landmark!!!!!
The name of this village intrigues me: this "LE" as the masculine article in French and the word "rice">>>>are there rice fields in the area?????!!!!!!
Good evening, Rosalyn****

Thank you Nouchet. I looked it up and 'Le-Rice' means 'brushwood' or 'the rise,' which would be appropriate since the church stands 50 ft above sea level. The Normans often prefixed a name with 'le'. There are a lot of places in England with French names. A beautiful village in Hampshire is called Beaulieu. On a road I use when visiting a friend in Gloucestershire, I pass through two villages called Petty France and Dunkirk.

Definitely no rice fields in Hampshire, haha.

Thank you for this very instructive and interesting explanations!!!!

My pleasure Nouchet.

flower power house wow

Thank you Fred :-))

Hi Rosa
A very nice picture, which I like very much!
Wonderful collection of flowers on this delightful pasty shop!
Great colours too
Best Wishes, HWW, a nice week, and stay safe!!
Peter

Hi Peter,
Thank you for your kind comments.
There were great aromas coming from the pasty shop.
Best wishes,
Rosa.

Looks really quaint, exactly the kind of location I would like to discover...
