Just back from a trip to the supermarket - this chap (or maybe it was a female I didn't look that closely being so surprised to see him) was tied to a post in the little shopping precinct near the supermarket and as I took these pics his/her owner came along with his bag of shopping ready for the homeward journey! That "sack" was a big cushion so presumably the seat isn't that comfortable.
Not sure why the flag was flying today - Guy Fawkes Night do you think?!
Bad hair day? The owner also had hair to match and a big leather hat!!
This was the view from just outside the supermarket door - fields and trees in the autumn sunshine. I know why I love living here!!!
yay! I love horses! Have done riding for 6 years... 6 years ago ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd when I was in Scotland I road on a Clydesdale, it was grand!
Love to see a little life in the cities! :-)
I'm just catching up with yesterdays post. I must be feeling stressed as I actually shouted out as she was pulled towards the cliff edge. Am I losing my grip on reality I ask myself! Great video!
ReplyDeleteThis pic is like an old print.I like it!
ReplyDeleteThe city view is lovely.

I know why you love living there toooooo... Can I move next door. Imagine see this horse when at the market. Amazing to me over here on the outside of Chicago. Wow.... I love the old world charm of this day for you.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine what the owner looks like - Steptoe & Son springs to mind though!

Seeing that horse would have made my day! How brilliant and what a lovely town you must live in. The view is amazing and isn't it wonderful that such things as a view or a horse can bring so much joy?
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day!
Love the photo of the horse Jane. he looks so funny! Have a lovely weekend x
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to have one horse power to go shopping. Along with daydreams of a three wheeler bicycle with a basket on the front I have one of a pony and trap for getting about the village.... it costs nowt to dream!
ReplyDeleteWonderful! made me smile....... :O)
ReplyDeleteNow that's a sight you don't see very often!
ReplyDeleteHe/she does look just as bemused don't you think?? Not your average field or lampost!!
What a great way to travel!!!...superb post and pictures :0)
ReplyDelete....and thanks for your lovely comments Jane
I found your blog via Pipany (and couldn't resist a blog called Marigold Jam!) What lovely photographs of the pony and cart. I have pony and cart and have fantasies of doing the school run with it - maybe one day.
ReplyDeleteLike a trip in a time capsule...
ReplyDeleteNow, when did we say am I visiting?
wow lovely place, i wouldn't mind living there myself :)
ReplyDeletehave a nice weekend

A sight you don't see too often. Would make a great alternative to the car for the supermarket run!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely sight, and how nice to come out of the supermarket to a view like that. Thanks for your interest in my etching - here is a link to my earlier posting when I explain (a bit) about the process http://jilltaylor-thirdagemusings.blogspot.com/2009/10/invitation-to-see-my-etchings.html
ReplyDeleteOh, I think the horse is adorable. Too bad you didn't get a snap of the owner (though I guess that would have been rude...). He sounds like an interesting fellow!
ReplyDeletefabulous post - I'm loving your wonderful blog !
ReplyDeleteThanks for that nice comment, yeah I went for a walk, feels better now, Going to crochet some snowflakes instead!

That was neat to see... I would have liked to have petted the horse. That would be fun to ride in the carriage--like you said, 'horsepower'! Thanks for showing some views of your area, I liked taking a peek.
