A walk in the English Countryside

A very very very old church which must have been hundreds of years old and built by someone like Norman the Conker who came to England from France back in about the year 1066 and landed by boat on the beaches near Hastings so as to avoid airport custom's and passport control and had a scrap with our King Harold and poked his eye out with an arrow making poor old Harold get blood stains on his smart outfit made from the skin of a dead unicorn (it had to be dead of course otherwise it would have got very cold in the winter without it's fur coat and all of the other unicorns would have called him a freak and thrown toasted hedgehogs at him)

This is very very very very old church door and the clever thing about it is that you can go either in or out of the church (I love exploring old churches)

Mmmm ...crispy duck with pancake rolls and plum sauce... yummy! Did I really say Crispy duck with pancake rolls and plum sauce... yummy! when children may be reading this blog? This was a joke of course kids because everyone knows that the crispy duck that you get at the Chinese restaurant is not really made out of cute fluffy ducks but cute fluffy bunny wabbits instead! Gosh I am turning in to a mean old humbug.

An old English red post box made in the reign of Queen Victoria due to the V and the R embossed on it's front.... there, see, I am not as thick as you all say I is!
(click on the photo to enlarge it and can you see the face of the man at the bottom left hand corner of the post box made out of the white growy stuff? Or is it just me? It even has an eye

Mmmm ... Crispy lamb with pancake rolls and plum sauce... yummy!

What did one lamb turn around and say to the other lamb?

He didn't because lambs do not speak, I cannot believe that you were just trying to work out in your head what he was saying, mind you, it could have been a she.

I hope you have all had a great week, sorry that I am not blogging so regularly due to starting a new job etc, thanks for still popping by.

This is a nice neat post, Martin. It contains a little bit of something for everyone. There is even a mystery and that is about your new job keeping you busy. Dang. That must be hard on your nerves.

Hi Martin, I've got the face in the bottom left but what about the one of a Gorilla out of "Planet of the Apes" in the right hand corner.

Hello Buggerlugs! Are you sure you didn't put the lichen-man's eye in with felt tip pen?
Out of circulation at the moment off to foreign parts.
Night night, or in your case, good morning!
