HM King Charles III Coronation Party

Leave a Reply

To celebrate the coronation of King Charles which took place on Saturday 6 May on a dreich day in London the sun shone the following day and villagers were able to enjoy fine weather for our village street party.

The Parish Council and other volunteers worked very hard to produce an unforgettable day. The Sun Inn provided picnics for over 100 villagers, local bands played and there were numerous craft stalls making it an occasion to remember. In addition there was a dog show held in the back garden of The Sun.

Upper Slaughter

Whilst Lower Slaughter on the banks of the River Eye is perhaps more well known and photogenic its neighbour the village of Upper Slaughter about one mile up the road also has some photogenic buildings and things to see. Here is a brief gallery of 6 images taken on my recent walk there.

  • Lords of the Manor Hotel
  • St Peter’s Church
  • St Peter’s Church
  • Lavender and jasmine in flower in a cottage garden
  • Jasmine growing on the front wall of a house
  • A variety of plants including sweet peas in flower

I parked my car in Lower Slaughter before that day’s tourists arrived so needless to say also took some photographs of this village too. Having left the car there I undertook about an 8 mile walk.

I realise that I have been remiss and have not posted anything for a couple of months. We are now into March so hopefully spring is around the corner. We have had a relatively mild winter with very little snow compared with other parts of the country. Let’s hope that is all we are going to get.
