Filming Granchester

I spent the morning doing ‘big shops’ for the Community Fridge and then I accidentally volunteered to go across town to collect some paper bags (I had assumed the donor lived nearby!) and it turned out it was a good trip. I got to nose around two new developments (one not great, one actually a v good example of high density housing) and on the way home I thought I’d drive through Granchester because it is lovely when the blossom is out. On the way in there were telltale signs of filming season (car park signs, the wisteria which is permanently out on the vicarage) and sure enough when I turned the corner it was all lights, camera, action. Even better, there was somewhere to pull over. To be fair the whole afternoon would have been even better if I’d had more than my phone with me but I didn’t so I’m afraid you’ll have to peer at this if you want to see the extras and lighting rig and make up and all that malarkey.

Weather: beautiful spring sunshine
Covid: numbers down
Good thing: the chiropractor. Progress is being made.
Interesting. What's with the camouflaged coats?

Well, that looks like fun! Nicely captured.

@fueast don’t know - the woman wearing one was touching up make up. Maybe a dangerous operation!

What a great story and still a pretty good shot. Well done you on your voluntary work.

How fun! So glad you are making progress with chiropractor.

Oh how fun to turn the corner and find this scene!
Glad you also came across some attractive high density housing. The city of Charlotte councilmembers have decided that further study on the proposed elimination of single family zoning needs to be conducted rather than vote on the issue. They are obviously getting a lot of push back from constituents concerned about property values. Someone needs to be concerned about affordable housing for a growing number of citizens.
Good news on the chiropractic front...or back.

Fun shot! Not very often you would come across this scene. How fun to catch a glimpse...

Nice capture of all the action! I seem to remember once having tea once in a big garden, or was it an orchard, in Granchester. Can't remember the name of the place though.

@jamibann Granchester Tea Gardens! They should be doing a booming trade once outdoor service restarts!

@peggysirk well quite - maybe they don’t notice the tents.
