We'll go a bit further today, and find some of the local places of interest on the edge of the village.
Kea Primary school lies about half a mile from the village centre. This photo shows the part built in 1879, and the large window on the front was 'my room' in the days when I taught at the school. Over the years a much more modern complex of buildings has grown behind this older part. There is now a pre-school taking much younger children. The school lies in beautiful grounds surrounded by fields and trees.
The Pre-school has a Forest school where all sorts of exciting things happen.

About a mile out of the village is the local pub, known as The Punch Bowl and Ladle. It dates from around the 15th century and is such a pretty building with its thatched roof and little doorways. It's a very popular place to have a meal. It's what people think of as a typical village inn....but it isn't in a village!
A little further next time.

A very pretty village, have you lived there long as you speak about similar shrubs growing in your front gardens?
It is such an interesting and beautiful area. Thank you!
I don't think that I knew you were a teacher once upon a time. Nice to have a Forest school included! I would enjoy a meal in that pub! Love the name!
What a lovely old school building - no nasty modern crumbling concrete in there!!
I find that old school building so beautiful. I'm glad it wasn't torn down when new facilities were needed. The Forest School sounds like a great idea.
I'm so enjoying this tour! I enjoy seeing the beautiful thatched roofs. And the phone booths. The school where you taught is gorgeous! I love the architecture of the older buildings.
Oops...I'm sorry. I saw that beautiful bright red and didn't look closely enough. Is this a post box.
What a lovely old school. Our older schools have been demolished to make room for building homes.
Love the thatched roof on that pub.
God bless.
How lovely that you returned to live in the area where you once taught school. It's a beautiful building.
Seeing your school made me think of Miss Read!
Thanks for these glimpses into your village.
I love thèse old buildings. I have spent a year in the Cotswolds a long time ago and loved all the beautiful villages.
