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.

Who remembers these old Singer Sewing Machine signs?

I love these shady lanes we have here.

La petite maison, wonder if this used to be used for selling vegetables at the side of the road.

Ligne de démarcation, so much history around us.

The cemetery at Cellefrouin...

They always look like small villages!

The grey looks like he just got up from rolling in the dust.
