22/01/2019 Cars, Bath and around Devizes

Saw this Morris Minot in the car park the other day.  Having owned one in recent years I still have a soft spot for this icon of the car world.

The Paragon in Bath.  My grandparents used to live here in the 1940's.  They actually lived in two of the houses here at different times but I cannot now remember the numbers.  

Love the Minor but the Porsche is still our favourite.

On the bridge over the canal.

An energetic rower,  I guess the upper half is keeping warm. Just wondering how cold the feet maybe!

Devizes cemetery...

Gorgeous old building.  There are various dates for the opening here but it dates from the mid-1800's

A drive-by sunset.

Back at the canal...

A working narrowboat.

Dogs meeting, owners invited.

A watering point, and I presume originally a drinking trough.

Out for a walk away from the dogs 😊

One of my FIL's ex-carers took pity on us all and arrived with this lovely bouquet of flowers. Thanks George much appreciated.


Devizes is a truly historic town and so full of history.  I try not to put too much information on the photodiary, so I have posted more about the town (part 2) on My Life In the Charente 2 with lots more information which might interest many of you.

We return home at the end of the month and I am not sure when I will have time for another post but will probably see you in February.




I have updated my bird blog HERE.

17/01/2017 Busy around the house so just a few photos from the inside today. Historic!

Maximum temperature 5C, minimum -3C. 59km/h NE wind. Dry but heavy frost.
A blanket I crocheted over 40 years ago!

A painting of a Nyala that I painted for my Dad, also many years ago.

A painting that I did of myself at least 50 years ago !

Morris Minor cigarette cards.

The least historic - a visit to the Oktoberfest in Germany in 1998.
