Tweety Pie has moved to Valley Road

Posted by alexkemp on 17 August 2016 in English.

I was going stir-crazy & got back onto the road to do some field-work in Valley Road, only to discover this:

(you may be more mature than me, but I found it funny; as a child I liked Warnor Bros cartoons way more than Disney)

I’m sorry to have to say that I found the 1930s detached & semi-detached houses in Valley Road & Prospect Road deeply boring. However, the residents were most helpful in helping me stem off dehydration by providing water + salt on request (both roads are on a hill & it was hot hot hot).

There were two interesting houses in Prospect Drive. This house board was made in Kenya:—

…and I’ve always got a soft-spot for plaster dolls:

Hi @Andrzej31

The chap was about my age (66) and obtained it whilst on holiday there. He pronounced it “ken-ya”, but it is likely that his father and/or grandfather would have pronounced it “keen-ya” (I got that info from reading Joyce Grenville).
