As Jake tells it: A village is a clustered human settlement or community, larger than a hamlet with the population ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand (sometimes tens of thousands).
So here are some of the villages I have spent time in over the years.

You have seen the world
The invite was sent out.
Only parts of it Harry…still lots more out there yet. No invite has shown up yet.
I sent a new invite just now, if you don’t get it “______” is not you user name.
Disregard my email i sent you.
I don’t think I’ve ever been to, seen, or traveled by a village. Sadly, never had the travel experience. So I think this is a challenge I will have to miss, unless I can think of something unique. Your photos are fab.
Glad you like them. There are lots of ways to interpret village though.
So you could find an old people’s village…or a shopping village…the possibilities are endless.
THANK YOU! So kind of you to go through the trouble. I’ll try hard to find something.
