Budds Oast, Day 3

So, it turns out that it is properly spelt without an apostrophe at all. As far as we could put together at dinner, the Oast was The Oast for the region with the moniker of Budds. As is apparently English custom, the apostrophe is omitted for buildings which represent The particular building of the area. An example is nearby Underriver House, seen here.

At any rate, on to the pictures!

In the morning, we took this wooded trail...
and then walked through this field to the church in the distance...
to visit this farmer's market. I bought fresh picked raspberries, and Gillian bought feta and olive bread. Other finds included cherries, some locally produced drink and some scones. All in all, a rather successful outing.
After visiting the Farmer's market, we went back to Budds Oast for a rest before marching in the other direction, going past the above pictured UnderRiver House and these British icons, before winding up...
here, for lunch.
On the way back, we crossed a field full of sheep.
I took this photo, which I think is rather nice.
Lastly, as a closing shot, Budds Oast by night. The next day, we set off for Shrewsbury. Details to follow tomorrow.
