Hi Dear Folk,
Just a short drive from my sister's is Clare, so nice on a free afternoon just to wander around the village.
These are old alms houses that used to house the poor retired, can't say that I wouldn't mind one of those.
The plaster work on the house is called pargetry.
Nice they still have a fish and chip shop in the village.
I did like this little haberdasher and sewing shop.
A walk down past the old mill which is now an antique shop on three floors, I loved to wander around here.
Also has a little cafe/teashop, where they serve a very nice cup of tea, scone, cheese and tomato jelly.
Just past the mill is a group of three cottages, I love this one at the end which is by the canal.
Here you can see the cottage and the canal. My dream place to live, along with a few others.
Perfect afternoon out.
