Let's go Pubbing.

It's still raining as you can see by the pavements in my photograph, but as I had to go food shopping I stopped off on the way home to take this picture.

Here we have one of the oldest pubs in the area, The Bell Inn which has been severing ale to the local villagers since the 17th century (1630) with slight alteration in the 18th century. A you can see by the pavement on the side, it is clinging to the hillside.

One of the closest pubs to my home, but to far to stagger home late at night. Press the magnify button above the picture to enlarge.

Beautiful house and nicely framing.

Seems like a really good idea when its raining. A very typical Gloucestershire looking pub with its local stone. Fav

Guess country pubs are doing better than urban ones - that is come slope up the side. Nicely captured
