It was the first day of the Michaelmas Fair
in the Bishops Castle Bishops Castle Bishops
Castle
And no one can blame me as I was not there
so PHEW.
This spider was passed by a Bradley Wiggins lookalike but showed no interest
First thing this morning
we took a trip to Monty (the place not the man) to get stuff on the basis that
getting in and out of the Bishops Castle would be a bit manic, only it was
manic in Monty, not sure why but it was. But we saw loads of people and
chatted, leapt out of the way of a man in a motor home who was a bit confused
and determined to eliminate things and people, and got the stuff we wanted. We
then saw a huge beast on the way home that tried to eat a Bradley Wiggins lookalike
just outside Monty, it was either a polecat or a ferret but it was huge, maybe
twenty feet long. But it did help us get past the Bradley Wiggins lookalike
when it ripped the tyre of his bicycle and he vanished off into the hedge, they
both vanished off into the hedge as it happens so rather convenient. Then after
that we were confronted by a few more Bradley Wiggins lookalikes plus Bradley
Wiggins dad lookalikes and what appeared to be Bradley Wiggins Great Great
Great Great Granddad’s lookalike; although I must admit none of us know what he
would look like. I think all the Bradley
Wiggins lookalikes may be to do with Tour of Britain passing through Montgomery
In response I would Like to say........ OH no I dont
I asked google "Where is Monty in the UK" but I could find nothing of value. Then I asked my friend Gomer who used to live in the UK, and he said, "I used to live right in the middle of Monty, a little bit to the right side, I called the place Mont-Gomer-y." I said, "Wow! Is that aLL true?!?!?" .... And he said, "No, not a bit of it, I'm from Canadian, TX."
ReplyDeleteHowever I did live right in the middle of Montgomery in Powys in Wales for a long time on a road called Arthur Street.
DeleteIn fact by looking at the shops in Broad street with care on Google Earth Street View it is possible to see Robo-Santa in the Window of a shop. So reality is real indeed.
DeleteI made it to the intersection of Arthur and Broad in Google Earth.
DeleteIs it in the window of the Ivy House Cafe? I cab see something red there.
DeleteNo you have gone to far you need to look in the window to the right of the other Cafe called Castle Kitchen in the window above you will see some art hanging on the walls. What is interesting is Arthur street was filmed in May and Broad street in November.
DeleteIf you are in Arthur street and by a shop called Bunners then turn to look at the other side of the road you will see our old house.. It has a little black car parked at the front and has the for sale sign outside....
I looked at my current residence that we purchased in 2008, and Google Earth stiLL has the former owner's cars AND more importantly it shows the flowerbeds with their statues. My wife was convinced that the former owner of our house had taken a row of blocks from the south flower bed. I had to get aLL CSI-ish with old photographs to prove she was wrong, and now I have GE's photo as weLL.
DeleteThen I looked at my wife's place of business. When you look at the view from the south it has her white car on the south side of the building and no customers, but then changing locations looking west from Main Street her car is then missing, and now a dark SUV is parked in front. So Main Street was filmed completely separately from when Eighth Avenue
I wiLL have to wait until later to look on the PC at Google Earth because my wife is watching teleBision and it is the monitor for the PC. The Google Earth version for my iPad is limited and doesn't offer the street view. But this gives me an eXcuse to go to the groc store for cider!
DeleteOh, haha, I made it to the season change on Arthur Street! At one point the trees are bare, then roLL forward, presto! Green leaves everywhere!
Delete"Ironmonger Bunner Cycles"
DeleteWell Mr ESB you have how been in the virtual world of the place I lived for 28+ years.
DeleteI say 28 years but it is a typing error as I am the eccentric child of cyberspace not a grumpy old Ghost Writer. He has a least another 30 odd years in other places to deal with (odd I do mean odd)....
I found this web site that helped me confirm the building -> It has a drawing of the building for Castle Kitchen
Deletehttp://www.castlekitchen.org/
Well once you find Castle Kitchen to the right of that the other half of the same building has a small bay window in that window is Robo-Santa. That little drawing was done by an artist called Michael Edmonds, he was one of the founders members of an art group known as the 56 group (formed in 1956) he is quite frail now and lives just round the corner in Montgomery ans is a good friend...
