Just a small selection of pictures of Boxford, not to be confused with Boxted which we visited recently, or indeed Boxworth, which is just a short walk from my brother's house. This is Boxford, a little town in Suffolk which has some interesting old buildings.
I realise that we're rather light on photos today, so to make up for the shortfall here's a little guitar music......
This is Afon (Welsh for "river") by Ben Walker, one of the finest acoustic guitarists around, though he's usually heard accompanying singers like Josienne Clarke or collaborating with other instrumentalists.
Nice to hear that shimmering, silvery guitar playing.
Take care.
Super music to end your post - and what absolutely wonderful old buildings - it is like stepping back in time. What an interesting top to the church tower.
ReplyDeleteLove seeing these old buildings in Boxford. What a nice place for a walk.
ReplyDeleteLove the music too. Roger was out of the room when I was listening to it, and he just came in and said, "That was beautiful music, what were you just listening to?" We both thank you!
I enjoyed the guitar music. And I love all these beautiful buildings. The cobblestone sidewalks remind me of when I was a little girl. We had a lot of cobblestone streets then. And that Post Office within a store takes me back to my teenage years. We had a little red building that was the General Store, the Post Office and the Fire Department. Thank you for the memories. You have a wonderful day, hugs, Edna B.
ReplyDeleteSuperbly wonky old buildings there.

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful place to live,love the old buildings. That spire is an odd one on the church tower
ReplyDeleteI like these views.
ReplyDeleteThe old buildings are nice to see. Nice music too.
ReplyDeleteNo need to ever apologize about being light on photos, John, as you always have interesting ones from your walks. But Boxford was a nice switch and I enjoyed seeing the buildings, streets and old cemetery. Thanks for the musical selection as well .
ReplyDeleteLooks like the popular stréets of the serie Downtown Ally😊
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful buildings and lovely music.
ReplyDeleteI am intrigued by how curving and cattywumpus the walls seem. Are they like that in real life, or is that a distortion of the camera? People are living in them, so I am guessing that they are safe enough, but I have lots of questions? What do those walls look like from the inside?
ReplyDeleteThe houses are as wonky as they look. They are built with wooden frames, often with wood that wasn't seasoned as it would be today. As a result the beams twist and distort as they settle down over the centuries. Far from being unsafe some of these houses have stood for over five-hundred years and, as long as they are lived in and cared for, are good for a few more centuries yet.
DeleteI would love to walk there, and watch all interesting houses etc. The first and the last photo are my favorite.
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely colorful buildings and houses! Beautiful music - I love to see his fingers fly across the strings! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteTime stood still there.
ReplyDeleteSo many Box - es! Interesting how the buildings curved and hung out over the narrow streets.
ReplyDeleteI always love your photos, but wow, love the guitar. Thank you for that.
