More about this scene
Here we see a wide road with little moving traffic. Many of the buildings remain, almost unchanged. The post office stands on the right, with a stamp machine on the wall outside. The massive keep of the castle that gives the village its name attracts many visitors.

Mum & Dad's friend Tony owned the white Alvis car parked on the green. We were very excited be in our big house. It was a cold winter and Mum was trying to get us settled in. Like all new ...see more
