I shall look it up on the map. I always had a yearning to live in a rural village with its school, pub and shop. The nearest I got was living in Lymm in Cheshire (a 'village' of about 8,000 (?) people back in the early 70s).Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-57735486933084948802016-03-17T19:19:31.947+00:002016-03-17T19:19:31.947+00:00I noticed that Andrew (not David) is using my phot...I noticed that Andrew (not David) is using my photo of him as a his profile picture on his Facebook page.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-25853598382886002912016-03-17T11:45:35.174+00:002016-03-17T11:45:35.174+00:00I visited David's website hoping to find his a...I visited David's website hoping to find his account of your meeting.

But of course, you do not make typos (or if you do, I don't find them) and especially not in something as important as the headline of a post.<br /><br />Misson looks a good place to live, for those who do either not work anymore or can work from home or have found work in the village itself. Everybody else, I suppose, will have to travel a lot to get from A to B, which is why I live where I live - in a town with a train station where I can do nearly all my errands on foot.<br /><br />I've not yet looked at the artist's website but am glad he and his wife have found a way to make him live his dream. I do hope he does all the house work so that if she comes home from her exhausting job as a full-time nurse, she can rest her sore feet and drained mind.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-21413436531222619862016-03-17T07:43:10.989+00:002016-03-17T07:43:10.989+00:00What a delightful village - all the different shad...What a delightful village - all the different shades of colour in the brickwork.<br />And the lovely black and white dog surveying the world through the space beneath the blue gate.<br /><br />Ms Soupalphabet souphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11744905399607433764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-32919502364675431392016-03-17T05:49:38.290+00:002016-03-17T05:49:38.290+00:00Not enough spare cents in my coffers, Yorkie (I...Not enough spare cents in my coffers, Yorkie (I've not much spare sense, either); and I've little room left on my walls now as it is with my own paintings and sketches hanging all about (although, mine aren't in the class of Andrew's)! :)Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-22712395727206042732016-03-16T23:01:45.938+00:002016-03-16T23:01:45.938+00:00It's great that some of thee villages have sur...It's great that some of thee villages have survived.
