Thrupp

Yesterday we met Maffi at Annie's Tea Room for morning coffee. When we came out we saw that Pugh, Pugh, Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble and Grub were topping up the canal.

IMG_0002 The row of three quaint thatched cottages are in the process of being restored. There are many clumps of snowdrops around the grassy area in the foreground, and the moles have been busy here too!

IMG_0001I am particularly fond of all the little old redbrick wash-houses, wood-sheds and lavatory’s in the back gardens. There are wells and washing coppers still in situe too. Usually when property is sold the land is totally cleared, so I wonder if these out-houses are listed too?
