This popular village shop is on the corner of the High Street that runs through the pretty little village of Cley next the Sea, on the North Norfolk coast. We have often called in there on our various trips to Norfolk. The building is constructed in the traditional Norfolk way, using flints and brick. The lack of building stone in the region has led to the extensive use of flint in Norfolk villages.

We ate our evening meal here on Friday evening. We took my brother in law and niece too.
The pub is the building forward in the photo. The Premier Inn is to the left.

Fayre & Square is part of Greene King which is the UK's largest pub retailer and brewer. It is based in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, England. The company owns pubs, restaurants and hotels. It is listed on the London Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the FTSE 250 Index.
The brewery was founded by Benjamin Greene in Bury St. Edmunds in 1799. In Wilson’s biographical analysis of the Greene’s, he credits members of their family for being able to achieve ‘distinction in the worlds of business and banking, literature and broadcasting in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.’
In 1836 Edward Greene took over the business and in 1887 it merged with Frederick William King's brewing business to create Greene King.
Greene King has grown via mergers and acquisitions, including Rayments Brewery (1961), the Magic Pub Company (1996), Hungry Horse (1996), Morland Brewery (1999), Old English Inns (2001), Morrells (2002), a large part of the Laurel Pub Company (2004), Ridley's Brewery (2005), Belhaven Brewery (2005), Hardys and Hansons (2006), the Loch Fyne fish restaurant chain (2007), Cloverleaf (2011), Realpubs (2011), the Capital Pub Company (2011) and the Spirit Pub Company (2015).
The Spirit acquisition, where Greene King bought Spirit for £773.6m, took the total number of Greene King sites to 3,116, brought 14 brands together and made Greene King the largest managed pub company in the UK. It was completed on 23 June 2015.
The windmill is not a real windmill it but is part of the Caldecotte Arms. This tower windmill was built as a dummy mill (by professional millwrights) as a decorative part of a pub/hotel complex. The Caldecotte Arms is located near the Caldecotte Lake within Milton Keynes giving a feeling of the countryside but only a 5 minute drive to the centre of Milton Keynes. A popular part of the Caldecotte Arms is the famous Windmill.
This popular family dining pub was purpose built as a Windmill in 1992, on three levels. The setting has beautiful views of the man made lake.
The overexposed Moon here is an astronomical body that orbits planet Earth, being Earth's only permanent natural satellite. It is the fifth-largest natural satellite in the Solar System, and the largest among planetary satellites relative to the size of the planet that it orbits (its primary). Following Jupiter's satellite Io, the Moon is the second-densest satellite among those whose densities are known.
The two stars on the right are part of Canis Minor a small constellation in the northern celestial hemisphere. In the second century, it was included as an asterism, or pattern, of two stars in Ptolemy's 48 constellations, and it is counted among the 88 modern constellations. Its name is Latin for "lesser dog", in contrast to Canis Major, the "greater dog"; both figures are commonly represented as following the constellation of Orion the hunter.
Canis Minor contains only two stars brighter than the fourth magnitude, Procyon (Alpha Canis Minoris), the lower star, with a magnitude of 0.34, and Gomeisa (Beta Canis Minoris), the upper star, with a magnitude of 2.9. Procyon is the seventh-brightest star in the night sky, as well as one of the closest. A yellow-white main sequence star, it has a white dwarf companion. Gomeisa is a blue-white main sequence star.

We've been clearing out our loft, and our daughter found my diary for 1987, the year she was born. In the September of that year, we had a holiday in Norfolk, and one of my entries was "shopping in Cley". It was in this very shop!! Even then it was a good delicatessen. Very good now, but also VERY expensive. London prices for all the rich Londoners who holiday in this area.

It was good to see you again Captainkez here at Metheringham. Hope the injury soon clears up.
Some of the Ludlow Food Fayre visitors on Saturday 13.9.14 were taken to the event by a charter run by WCRC, carrying a headboard "Spirit of the Lakes" for some reason!

Newent Onion Fayre is a one day street festival of food drink and merriment which attracts almost 15,000 visitors. At the heart of the festival is the Onion Show which is unique in its status in the UK. The whole town becomes a party during what has become recognised as a celebration of the first day of harvest at the end of the summer.
Newent, originally the site of a manor belonging to the Abbey of Cormeilles in Normandy, quickly grew into a sizeable community when King Henry III granted the new town of ‘Noent’ a market and two annual fayres by charter.

Taken at Traquair Medieval Fayre during a birds of prey exhibition. This was a very informative display and this bird is demonstrating mantling when it covers its prey so that other birds don't see it!
Preserved West Midlands Travel G266 EOG (1266) is seen parked outside the West Midlands Travel Birmingham Sports and Social Club on Wheeler's Lane, Kings Heath. G266EOG was new in April 1990 to what would later become Travel West Midlands. It is now owned for preservation purposes by the Yardley Wood Bus Group. This Leyland Lynx has a Walsall depot sticker in the window. On the day it was photoed, it was operating to the group's Model Fayre, which cost £1 to enter, which included entering you into a prize draw. It was worth going to, but wasn't well attended by buyers. I still got some good bargains though!
