Photo-a-Day  (Thursday, 24th September, 2020)

Wicker at one side of the camera and wicked at the other side. Just joking Mick.

More like The Wireman, whats it supposed to represent Mick ?

I think Mr Wick is going to be waiting a long time for his bus...

For them who dont know the hamlet of Shevington was a well known for making wicker baskets, this new one is made from wire replaces the original wicker one that rotted away, the wire will soon weather down and will look like wicker
His basket is now filled with winter flowering plants, and there are more wicker baskets filled with lovely plants outside of the art gallery/library and the Coop

Didn't know that Mick, I knew nearby Mawdesley was well known for its cottage industry of willow basket making. Shall look very floral and brighten up those dull winter days. But why does it look as though it's sat upon an old long drop toilet?

I like him!

This is him at the beginning of the Corvid out break

Like the photo Mick, typically from you its --- unusual.
By the way, my understanding of a hamlet is a village in England that does not have a church, Shevington has at least three if I remember rightly, don't it ?

Because he's sat on a tree stump. Some folk just don't get it.

Walt - Your definition of of a hamlet is spot on.
There's a classic example in Norfolk. Great Witchingham had the church and it expanded to take in the adjoining hamlet of Lenwade.
All the locals now identify with the latter, but the postal address remains Great Witchingham.

Looking at photos of Shevington, in the new gallery's section.Its too big to be an hamlet.Its a village Mick.

We were considered to have lived in a hamlet near Walsingham, previous to where we are now. There were abt 8 dwellings & what had been a huge old farm complex. No church, shop etc within a mile.

EDNA and WALT, Mick was referring to Shevington from two or three hundred years ago in the wicker making era when it possibly was a hamlet. The two churches in Shevington are, St Anne's C of E which was built in 1887 and St Bernadette's RC built around 60 years ago.

You have a CO-OP store in Shevington.

Mick said 'the hamlet of Shevington WAS a well known'.......... !! meaning a long long time ago, when even the Co-op wasn't there Alex.

Lovely photo Mick, I can just imagine it full of winter pansies. I never knew this about Shevington, see, we're never too old to learn something new now are we.
