  Red door, climbing roses, Cotswold cottage- next to Rye this must be England at its most picturesque. This is in Moreton-on-Marsh, one of the lesser photographed Cotswold villages, in Gloucestershire. (UGArdener on flickr)

We love Morton-in-Marsh. Stayed thereabouts several times. One time we were holidaying in Bournemouth and broke our journey at Morton-in-Marsh on the way down and it took us all our willpower to tear ourselves away and continue on.

Cloggy:—- England is so green, even in the middle of Leeds.

enchantedengland: This is in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England (where Matt Lewis- aka Neville Longbottom BAMF- is from) Look at that SPOOKY DISEMBODIED BLOUSE IN THE WINDOW (ghoulish wail) (chattering teeth)

If I was a member of that band of Con — Merchants, the BritArt “artists”—-

—-and put this wall on show in Tate Modern I dread to think how many million words of pretentious bull would pour forth on the subtleties of the textures and subdued coloring. I would probably win the Turner Prize too.Dont forget the pallet load of bricks the Tate paid a fortune for to have tipped on their floor.

  This is a pleasure to look at which makes it a work of art in my book but is also a useful object having held up the lane into Wortley Top Forge since 1713 as well as being backstop for the dam wall that provides water for the Tilt Hammers. Just think, water power for the hammers and renewable coppiced timber for the smelting, and then the Eco-Warriors firing up the 4litre SUV to take two jam jars to the bottle bank, and they think they are green.

Steam engine to the rescue….

master-li:

Two flakes of snow and the world goes to pot. Enter the latest build steam loco to the rescue. Read the story.

Cloggo reblogged this because I have watched in despair my country being swamped by alien cultures as the invading hordes from Eastern Europe and Asia take my country away from it’s rightful owners. I had given up hope for the English until there happened in the South of England a supremely ENGLISH moment. When “the wrong sort of snow” stranded 100 commuters at London Victoria STEAM came to their rescue. Not any old steam, but the finest and newest steam locomotive ever to run on English rails, the Peppercorn A1 Pacific “Tornado” I have watched A1’s start heavy trains out of Leeds Central up the bank to Wortley and watched them hurtle in and out of York on Kings Cross and Edinburgh expresses and rolled their names off my tongue “Silurian” “Madge Wildfire” and favourite “Alcazar” but I think the choice of “Tornado” was sheer genius on a par with Spitfire for the famous fighter. As to the organisers of the trip that gave a free ride home to those stranded:- Hats Off to you Sirs, you are True English Gentlemen .
