The Little Hut (1957)

A flint, thatched, rose covered small building with an attractive window which I believe is an apple store. It is at the corner of an orchard at West Dean Gardens.

We spent the weekend in the implausibly photogenic village of Kerhinet, eating at the excellent Auberge de Kerhinet.

Day 111 gave me a delightful ride through quintessential English countryside scenery from Ringwood to Salisbury. My accommodation had no possible trike storage, so I used my priestly status to convince a local parish Church to let me store it in their facility rather than on the street.

My route for the day from Ringwood to Salisbury.

A wonderful thatched cottage with a thatch bird sculpture on the ridge silhouetted against a cloudy sky.

A cross-roads sign along my route. Among the pointers is one for the road to a spot called Mockbeggar. I know not what to make of any place called Mockbeggar, and I am glad that I don't have to say that I grew up in Mockbeggar!

The signs for the Royal Oak Inn, a little north of Mockbeggar.

Chisbury Chapel, Wiltshire

John Terry @oakelmash.bsky.social · May 25

Fab visit to Chisbury Chapel today - mediaeval thatched chapel that was converted to a barn - now only houses owls, Outside 34c, inside lovely and cool. Saw hares, a herd of deer, and a barn owl. Chisbury is in an ancient earthwork.
