This week's
PhotoHunt theme is Old-fashioned. Alas, I don't own any antique furniture or vintage clothing, and can't find the CD containing images from visits to various museums. So, I've had to dig deep for pics for this week's theme, and have been forced into yet more repetition. Ugh. Never mind.I used this first image for a Wordless Wednesday post a few months ago. For those of you who haven't seen it before, it shows a very old-fashioned thatched cottage in a coastal village called Oxwich, a few miles from where I live. It's very old - at least 300 years, if not more. The founder of the Methodist faith, John Wesley, stayed here on numerous occasions.
Here's a closer look at the plaque on the wall, commemorating Wesley's visits. If you click the image to enlarge it, you should be able to read the plaque.
Just along the road from the cottage, you'll find this old-fashioned craft shop and tea rooms. It's called Y Bwthyn (pronounced Uh Boo-thin) - which is Welsh for 'The Cottage'.
I'm afraid that's all I have for this week. Hope you all have a lovely weekend, and I look forward to visiting as many other PhotoHunters as possible.

Hey, i like your J. Wesley cottage, great photo hunt pic. well done.
There is nothing wrong with those photos for this theme. I love the thatched cottage which looks very well cared for.
Have a great weekend there in Wales.
I'm intrigued by the roof of the old fashion house. I wonder what it's made off. Interesting!
Lovely! I love rooftops like that!
Though it would be illegal here in California...

We lived in a thatched cottage once, for a good few years, even though we had said to ourselves we never would:)

Nice! Love the roof. There's a high likelihood I'll be studying in Cardiff come September, so I may go visit that house someday!
300 years and still look so sturdy!

That looks like a place I'd love to visit. Thatched roofs are very old fashioned.

They are perfect for the theme, not to mention very cool. Excellent choices. Happy hunting.
Beautiful. Living in Australia it is very noticeable how few really old buildings there are.
That's a beautiful cottage. Good to learn that it is still looking great although it is at least 300 yrs old.
Thanks for the comment, Siani. You can guess what I say about your pics:
ah... I remember it well. Actually my pic of Oxwich Bay looking east was taken just up the lane from there.
I do hope you can get mobile but it's an expensive business.
