What? no phone box

Now you see it!!


This to me is a quintessential village scene, the post box, the phone box and a map showing a village walk. But sadly the phone box is no more.


And now you don't!!


 It's such a shame that we have lost the phone box(a K6). I am presuming that BT just came along and removed it without any consultation with the village. I wonder if anyone knows if it is going to be replaced or not. Maybe we will get one of those modern monstrosities. I just hope we can hang onto the post box. At least that has been cleaned.

The Peacock

Have you Heard the Peacock ?
 
 

He is shouting in the morning and in the evening. Not a problem but the loud shrill raucous shrieks can be heard for some distance. He often comes into the garden in the morning for a look around. He has a look for insects and we occasionally put some bird food out for him. It's a wonderful sight to see him come down from our roof in full flight. He is a big bird and he likes to roam. My neighbor tell me he visits them as well. Let me know [by going to bottom of the page and clicking on Comment] if you see him around East Carleton.
 
 
What a lovely colour blue he is as well. He does like to show off his lovely tail feathers as well.
