24th August 2018 Thaxted No Sprawl

Hi Dear Folk,


Here you can see some newly built houses on the edge of Thaxted.  What I like in the UK is the lake of sprawl.  Not that fields at the edge of villages aren't being bitten of for new housing estates, it's just that there is a true delineation between the edge of a village and the countryside.

Must have caught a plane flying into Stansted Airport.  I tried to get a flight into that airport from the USA, but I couldn't.  Would be so much closer to my sister's.

In the States you tend to have what I call building sprawl.  Move on, build a new strip mall, don't renovate the old existing one.

  1. Great. This is really a precious chance to see old buildings without any renovation.

  2. Good job you didn't get a flight to Stansted as the airline which started to fly from there to the USA went bust while you were over here. Lots of people stranded! Thaxted is a lovely place.
