Pett Village Part 2 of 3

Today we went for the second walk through the village right to the top of Chick Hill. 

I`ve taken so many photos that I`m dividing the blog into three parts.

There was some sunshine and it was very pleasant to walk the whole length of Pett, 

making uninvited visits to friends` houses.

My first photo is of the Pett allotments which I forgot in part 1.

There are over 50 allotments here and villagers can rent them by the year. 

They are right next to the village hall.

The daffodils in front of the church are stunning.

The gardening club have planted daffodils all through the village.

The celandine-dotted path winds round older trees until we get to the next pub.

 I love these houses. The one on the right has a stained glass window on the side of the porch.

It shows the house itself.

Here is the Royal Oak, our second public house..... serving meals as well. It is opposite the Pett playing fields. Sports clubs often gather here after matches and games.

This house is at an odd angle to the road.

This group of buildings is the Roundels, fronted by the duck pond. The round buildings are converted oast houses. In the past hops were dried in the oast houses for beer.

This is called Home Cottage. I wonder why.

 

This is always an interesting farm to pass, with the duckpond and a bank of flowering bulbs which give pleasure from February onwards.

There are always chickens walking across the road here.

Our walk did not end here, but we called in to see Judith who kindly offered us tea, and we discussed our latest holidays....us in Fuerteventura and them in Cuba........(now there`s a thought)

See Clifford`s blogspot on my right bar - Birding Walks in RXland.

Cliff and Judith have had their holiday photos made into photobooks and the 

one I saw on Morocco was fantastic.

This seems like a good place to end Part 2.
