I came across this little old cottage in The Aran Islands off the coast of County Clare/ County Galway on the west coast of Ireland. I’m sure there was a pot of tea brewing on the stove there many many years ago. These tiny fields are dating from The Great Irish Famine of the 1840’s Ireland. That’s the sea in the background.

Oil painting on canvas I painted this scene of an Irish village several years ago, adapted from an old photograph dating from probably the late 1800’s to early 1900’s. The man with the cart is probably a trader, the young woman looks on while the elderly folk take in the sun and watch the activity in the village. Interesting to see the various buildings, from poor thatched cottages to well built stone (shops?) and wealthy mansions. In Ireland today, many of these building would still exist. I live in an old cottage which once had a thatched roof and probably looked pretty much like the one in the painting. The slate roofs can still be seen in some places and the shops and stores still look very much the same… double glazed windows replace the old wooden frames and inside its very modern but walk through any old Irish village or town and you will see that the old buildings are still there. Driving through an old village is a nightmare… the road is narrow and will swerve because, as in this painting, a building could jut out into the road. Slow down world!! Bring back the donkey and cart, I say!!! :-)

I took this today 7th June 2009. We had spent a lovely day at Ugbrooke House. Which is only ten minutes from our cottage.It is the home of Lord and Lady Clifford. It was an open day for the RNLI. We were so lucky with the weather, unlike last year when it rained the whole time. As we were leaving Ugbrooke House, there in front of us was this beautiful Thatched Cottage so I had to stop and get some shots and am pleased with the result. Thank you for looking. / Edited inRAW in Dynamic Photo HDR 1×3 finished in Picasa3. / BEST VIEWED LARGER

Taken at Cockington Village just outside Torquay in Devon UK. The ancient village is a real step back in time for the visitor and most of the centuries old houses have thatched roofs like this one, the Higher Lodge. Ponies and traps are available all through the Summer months for a scenic trip round the village and the friendly drivers are full of information about the historic village.

Following on from my previous image of Cockington Mill in Devon, this image was taken from Cockington village square looking up the hill towards the entrance to the mansion and it’s grounds. / The building on the right is the Old Granary, now a popular gift shop and a little further up the hill is the Weaver’s Cottage, now a popular old world tea room where traditional Westcountry cream teas are served (YUMMY) / The village square is also the starting point for the popular pony and carriage trips around the ancient village, I will be posting at least one with the ponies in it soon.

A look at the houses down the hill in Abbotsbury, Dorset, England. In the 11th century King Canute rewarded the services of Orca, his steward, with land in Abbotsbury, Portesham and Hilton. It’s believed there was already a religious community in Abbotsbury, and Orca and his wealthy wife Tola built an Abbey here. The Abbey dominated life in Abbotsbury for 500 years, but was destroyed in the dissolution. The barn survived and is the largest thatched building in the world. / Until the dissolution, Abbotsbury would have been one of the most important villages in the county, and the settlement is laid out around a wide market area. After the decline of its monastery, Abbotsbury became the quiet village it is today. / In 1664, during the English Civil War, Roundheads and Cavaliers clashed at Abbotsbury. Cavaliers besieged the Roundheads in the church tower of St. Nicholas’ church, which still bears the scars of musket fire. / During the Second World War, the coastal front was fortified and defended as a part of British anti-invasion preparations of World War II. Later, the Fleet was used as a machine gun training range, and Bouncing bombs were tested there, for the Dambuster sortie (Operation Chastise). More info /

Oil painting on canvas (sold). “Irish Cottage” shows life in Ireland many, many years ago. I saw an old photograph of this cottage and adapted the scene as I imagined it. The woman sits outside, catching a few rays of sunshine while her husband, most likely a fisherman takes a break. A small pile of peat is stacked against the wall and the thatched roof is in need of repair. Imagination is such a wonderful tool for an artist! Our little Irish cottage in the lovely county Clare must have looked like this one! Wildlife, landscapes and Irish life paintings by Avril Brand

I found this place whilst on a drive around the Preston area in Lancashire, NW England.. It is in a place called Guy’s Thatched Village, and seems to be a bit of a tourist trap.It is next to the Lancaster Canal. I liked the duck sitting on the roof! / Sony Alpha 350 tripod mounted, 3 shot autobracket (+/- 0.7) processed in Photomatix and edited in Picassa. / Featured in Country Bumpkin in June 2009 / / One card sold /

The Cott Inn at Dartington, near Totnes is one of the oldest Inns in the UK and has been continuously licenced to sell ale since 1320 AD. A charming thatched roof covers the 5 foot plus thick walls that are constructed of cobb (an ancient mix of clay mud, cow manure,straw and lime, then rendered with a lime plaster) it has certainly stood the test of time and still looks so pristine. I have enjoyed many meals there washed down with the odd pint or two. /

Featured in Live, Love, Dream 5th Nov, 2008. / This is a beautiful thatched pub/restaurant, The Brace of Pheasants in Plush, Dorset. They have a wonderful menu and I was about to eat there, but, unfortunately, arrived at 15:05 and the kitchens closed at 15:00. Oh well, maybe next time. / The pub ‘sign’ is not a sign at all but an illuminated glass cabinet containing a brace of stuffed pheasants – a cock and a hen. I don’t know how long the glass box has been up there, but I know it wouldn’t be five minutes outside a London pub before some senseless yob would throw a brick at it.

The ancient village of Cockington is filled with centuries old thatched cottages, some dating back about 1000 years ago and is only about a mile from my home in Torquay Devon. / Much visited by locals and tourists alike, it is like a step back in time and one of the attractions is carriage rides around the old world thatched village during the Summer months. / Here we see the centuries old Mill of the village with the formal gardens designed by the famous Edwardian garden designer Lutyens in the foreground. / I will in time be adding quite a number of images from around the village.

Recently, my family and I enjoyed a lovely week in North Yorkshire, staying near the coast but enjoying day long excursions out to surrounding countryside and beaches. On one of our days out, we were making our way to Dalby Forest to meet up with fellow Red Bubbler and dear friend Paul McGuire when we decided to stop in the beautiful and picturesque village of Thorton-le-dale, with its lovely parks and walks. Just down from the centre of the town is a beautiful walk along the Thornton Beck stream. Along this walk is this beautiful 17th century Thatch Cottage which has been the on countless jigsaws, chocolate boxes and tins, not to mention calendars. In fact, it has been said that it is the most photographed cottage ever. So I set out to try and catch a view that is not commonly seen, which is probably an impossible task. I noticed that on the other side of the bridge from the main road, there was a slip way into the stream. I went to see the view from that side, and this is the scene I found. I must point out that when I took these shots, it was raining and very windy, hence the movement. I do like this view very much. This is a HDR image combining 4 bracketed shots, using Photomatix Pro for Macs, and adjusting some tones in Enhance Details as part of Tone Mapping.

/ A couple of cottages in front of St. Mary’s Church in Frampton, Dorset, England. The south arcade to the nave and the chancel arch are 15th Century. The unusual tower with Tuscan columns, seen behind the cottages, was built in 1695 by Robert Browne, who also added the North Aisle and the Vestry between 1725 and 1734. The present structure is mostly of 19th Century restoration by Marcia Maria and Richard Brinsley Sheridan. / There are some wonderful Alms House further along the road, but by the time I got there the light was fading. / Another trip is on the cards for shots of the Alms Houses and the church exterior (and interior if I’m lucky).
