Icy lake and birds. That's the ancient Abbey Barn in the background.

Abbey Fields in light snow. Sometimes you can sledge here, right in the centre of town! Good reason to settle...

Another #FolderWeek post: two more thatched cottages. The second has just been re-thatched; if you look closely just above the upstairs window, you might see that there are at least 3 different layers of thatch here! I love the fluid shapes that thatched roofs can have, but they must be seriously expensive to maintain!

Road block. This 150-year-old oak tree has fallen across the ford during Storm Éowyn, blocking the road completely.

Waterbirds among the frosted reeds. The swans help to keep small areas of water clear of ice; this is the first time I've seen them [EDIT: keep the water clear] this far up among the reeds.

Timbers. These are exposed frames of a "half-timbered" house on Castle Green; they date from the 16th to 17th century! The brick panels are later additions; they would originally have been "wattle and daub", ie mud.

I found a long-expired roll of Konica VX 200 Super colour film from a past Secret Santa, and decided to rate it at EI 50 and try some Intentional Camera Movement (#ICM). TBH it didn't really work out well, but maybe a few are worth showing. Crackley Wood...

@carusb 🤩
@exkclamation Thanks kc! I've done this a few times, usually in Spring as it works a bit better, but the hit rate is so low I think maybe I should buy a digital camera to make it cheaper!
@exkclamation PS every time I actually think of buying a digital camera, I realise how much film I could buy for that much money, and change my mind!
