They were quite close to Llantony Priory so possibly a Pilgrims' route or just a short cut to worship.<br /><br />I believe the stocking woman would have collected the hand-knitted stockings to sell on behalf of the housewives in far flung parts of the parish, paying so much for them and making her own cut when she sold on to the tradesmen who would take them to market.<br /><br />Doc's visit done and dusted and hopefully I'll be on the mend again soon.<br /><br />Weaver of Grass - I shall be back (Ive been before).

The style of fence with the gate built in that way seems very unusual. Is there a "name" for it? <br />Did the stocking woman knit for the household or did she carry a supply of ready made "socks" and sell door to door?<br />Sorry you have to make a doctor visit and maybe take meds, which are almost as nasty as the germs.

For myself, I am off to the Doc's in the morning as a month of this feeling unwell is quite enough. <br /><br />Glad you enjoyed the post. So much has changed, and so quickly (even since my childhood which seems almost like Victorian times) and I like to just show how things were - and find some photos to match . . .Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-38780519863620159722009-10-11T12:06:10.103-07:002009-10-11T12:06:10.103-07:00Hullo BB,

If these are yours you have a nice touch.<br /><br />What a well written wee except as well. It gives agreat feel of time and place. I love the allusion of not gone but just around the bend in the road ahead. That will have me contemplating tonight I'm sure as I'm on my own for the evening.<br /><br />regards.....Al.Alistairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16667242161539996736noreply@blogger.com
