The picture shows tiny bubbles of prunus blossom with the Aldbourne watercourse, brook or bourne along South Street.
Paused to check bubbles of blossom just beginning. I'm not sure if this tree IS the one planted in 1937, but every year the blossom is a herald of spring, and it's a joy to watch the flowers appear #Aldbourne
St. Michael's Church, with The Green in the foreground. Aldbourne (a.k.a. Devil's End), Wiltshire. 9th April, 2022.
For the remainder of the year, I will be posting a random photo from my past travels.

Football field Farm Lane Aldbourne. Site of the American Army Camp during the second World War. The Pitch with goalposts and houses in the distance are framed by haw berries and green leaves.
Love this little tree. Blossoms and berries make frames in their season.

Visited Four Barrows at Aldbourne on Friday, and quite like the accidental reflection placement which makes it look like my hands are holding the tv image inside the phone screen.

Are you really a Doctor Who fan if you haven’t been to Devil’s End? The lovely village of Aldbourne…

Currently binge watching ’Yellowstone’ (don’t hate me) so today’s #FindsFriday is this 5 cent coin from our ‘Band of Brothers’ dig at Aldbourne in Wiltshire. A really rather splendid item. Photo (c) Harvey Mills Photography #yellowstone #bandofbrothers #aldbourne #archaeology 🏺

Headline from the Herald and Advertiser 22 April 1949. Village sold to pay king's debt. How Aldbourne nearly became a township. Rich both in history and industry and now a rural gem. Photo features the Rev Gilding who is interviewed later in the clipping.
Raising £5000 for Church. As we walked through the garden to the churchyard in the morning sunshine, a cuckoo called. The Vicar pointed out "we have the finest preserved church tower in Wiltshire, and the village is trying to raise between £4000 and £5000 for a new church school and repairs to the church". He went on to explain confidently "We've already raised £600 within the last three years by whist drives, dances and sales of work; that represents over 10 shillings per head of the population, and we are hoping the diocese will help a little. The present school is 90 years old, the only school there ever was in Aldbourne. The senior children now go to Marlborough for their lessons, but 80 youngsters are still taught in the village.
Aldbourne School founded in 1857. Photo taken shortly before demolition of the old school building in the early 1960s. Part of the old school does remain between the church and playground of the new school. Photo from the Aldbourne Photographic Club/Civic Society archive.

Newspaper cutting found in a shoe-box and released into the wild on social media this week. Rev Gilding reported on the fund-raising for the new church school in Aldbourne in this article from April 1949. The new school opened in 1963.

At one time, Aldbourne had many bakers, some combining baking bread with a grocery shop. Barrett, Chapman, Hawkins, Palmer, Sheppard, Stacey, Wilkins, Wilson are all names found so far on a #SconePlaceStudy Much research needed! #OnePlaceStudy #Aldbourne
And in news unrelated to the Psalms, I’ve finally visited the Four Barrows at #Aldbourne - #DoctorWho fans understand will understand.
