The village of Downham in the Ribble Valley in Lancashire is beautiful. Population 156 persons, it has a pub, post office, church & school.
Owned mostly by the 2nd Lord Clitheroe he does not allow any overhead electricity wire, satellite of TV aerials making it an ideal location for period drama.
Three good things:
1. Gastroscopy over & done with...all good. It was loads worse than I remembered but they did do two biopsies which took longer.
2. Banana flavoured throat spray.
3. The amazing new main entrance at Blackpool Victoria Hospital. I have been several times with Harry over the last year but never been to the new entrance before. M&S, W.H Smith, restaurants & escalators, I was amazed! A bit different to my day when I worked there!!!!
Thank you all for all your good wishes regarding said procedure!
@judithg I was just wondering how they watched TV, there must be a way surely & wi fi etc. I couldn't see any telephone wires either.......mystery, I must investigate!
@jgpittenger Yes & there was more to,this place in each direction. Funny there are only 156 residents, makes you think they must be just older couple as therecwerecquite a few houses!
I expect anyone wanting to move into this village would know the rules and accept them. Electricity can be underground but not TV stuff. You would be glad that procedure is over but still have to await the results! Good luck!
@pinkpaintpot well they must have had floods Linda because the house with the gable end in the middle of the bridge had sand bags up the front door. This was taken on Monday so I expect this little river is up today.
Oh .. I envy you living is such picturesque countryside. So enjoy seeing these little peeks at your world. Love this one...your pov and comp just lovely
Looks like its straight out of James Herriot. So pleased your procedure is over and done with.
Glad you're gastroscopy is over and done with - not a pleastant thing to have to endure. The hospital sounds very posh!
