A Postcard from Burton ...

On our trips around our local area over the summer, we visited Burton, a picture postcard village not very far from us.
This is a charming little village, full of whitewashed, stone-walled,  thatched cottages ....
.. with a fine parish church....
... and the wonderful Burton Manor, once the home of the son of William Gladstone, and now a venue for adult courses ... like photography, local history, music, and all sorts of crafts.
The best part for us, is a lovely walk through the woods behind the village ....
We didn't find the remains of the old mill ....



.... but we did stumble across a crocodile.

  1. We watched Peter Pan on TV yesterday evening, wonder what he would have made of the wooden croc?!
