This is wonderful! I love the red post box and telephone booth and in my mind's eye, see them all over the place, but from Anthony's comment, that may not be the case.

Are you telling me, that you took this photo yesterday ? Perhaps it was in August :)
But really, I remember some roses flowering in December in Scotland, it was such a miracle in our minds!
Colourful December to you!

@LeenaM: No, these shots were taken back in September when the weather was still warm.
Calusarus from St Sorlin en Valloire, France
In small villages, to keep the Post Office opened, we need other tasks…

@Calusarus: Same over here my Friend.
Les from Lincoln, United States
How utterly charming! I love those window boxes. The purple lobelia cascading down reminds me of the huge hanging baskets we saw in Port Sidney (British Columbia). This is just how I envision Wales. I've bookmarked Cenarth and a few holiday cottages for future reference.
Great photo, Jeff.

willow from Chelsea, United States
Love all the color. It's a very busy-looking front for what I'd imagine is a pretty slow-moving place.
