The Old House at Home. (+PiP)

What a beautiful ha;f-timbered building.

Thanks Jaap.............glad you approve!

A beautiful building Keith and surprising information in your PiP, thanks for that. A very unusual name for a pub, which I have only seen once before and strangely it is in a village called Burton! Burton is near Castle Combe on the Wiltshire/Gloucestershire border. I've passed it many times but never been inside.

This is a superb picture which shows the half timbered pub beautifully.
Have a great new week Keith.

I'm pleased you like the main image and the PiP Rosa...........thank you so much.

I had no idea there was a village called Burton...............I'll have to look it up later :-)

Have a good week yourself!

So ein schönes,einladendes Gasthaus gib's bei uns leider nicht mehr lieber Keith,bei uns ist alles schon zu modern geworden,ich finde dieses Alte viel gemütlicher und man fühl sich viel wohler,obwohl ich jetzt nach meinen 2 Krebse nicht mehr so oft ins Gasthaus gehe,ich ziehe die Ruhe und Stille der Natur vor,aber deine Aufnahmen haben mir sehr gut gefallen und ich verstehe dich,wenn du das öfters aufsuchst :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Wochenstart,ganz liebe Grüße Güni :))

Thank you Güni...........I've only been inside this pub twice myself!

Too much noise, too many people etc, etc.................

Oh,dann geht es dir gleich wie mir,ich ziehe auch lieber die Ruhe vor lieber Keith :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Abend,ganz liebe Grüße Güni :))

A very nice fassade, Keith ! Wish you a great week ahead !

Thanks very much Ulrich.

Wow Keith what a fabulous village/town you live in. I think I passed through Havant several times when I lived in Kent. I just remember the lovely houses there. Thanks for showing us the writings on the plaque.

Glad you like this one Jenny.............the pub is lovely. If I'm honest Havant has become a bit of a dump in my opinion, after years of neglect. They're spending millions on the surrounding shopping malls, but doing very little to maintain what used to be a lovely town centre. We have very little to show there except for charity shops, nail bars, barbers and hairdressers, not to mention a shop for just about every mobile phone company. Rant over!

Thanks for dropping in.

Sounds very familiar... It's just the same here- rents in the town centre are astronomical so the good independent shops give up and we are left with just the same unappealing mixture. In larger towns like ours you can add chains for cheap clothes and sneakers...I try to avoid the town centre as much as I can;-)

Yep...........that's pretty much it Gudrun :-(

It must be so nice to have a viable pub where one lives. There used to be 3 thriving establishments in our village. One is now a private house, another is very occasionally open for B&B, and the other one is for sale, opens very occasionally for football matches and hasn't been a good pub for about 10 years

I suppose you're right Amelia, this is one of half a dozen or so pubs in the town centre and surrounds, but to be honest I don't go to any of them..........I find them far too noisy and crowded nowadays. I much prefer a nice quite pub in the countryside or beside the sea, but even those are becoming few and far between.

Thanks as always for your visits and comments.

wonderful keith.........

Much appreciated Annemarie.

How marvelous to have such an old and beautiful building in your vicinity!

Yes, we're very lucky. Thank you Eunice.

<i< very fine distinctive architecture . . I love to see !

Glad ou like it beverley. Many thanks.

A really beautiful house and obviously well cared for. Perfectly photographed and without any cars!

Thanks very much Gudrun..............I'm pleased you like this one. There are double yellow lines right outside............all the cars are park on the side I was standing on!

Ein wunderschönes altes Haus, das zum Glück nicht abgebrannt ist und offenbar gut erhalten wird. Solche Häuser prägen das Stadtbild, nicht die Billigläden und Einkaufszentren.
