Postcard: 'Syntax'
The little village of Syntax
Of the syntax village little.
I always like to do at least one 'Weird Village' in my postcard sets that are unrelated to the book. This one is of Syntax, where the residents are constantly having trouble with their word order. The caption on the back reads:

The Little Village of Syntax. To themselves little well village find may unable to be, but once this grammatical rules are themselves, all is understood visitors.

The village is actually Newchurch, right on Offa's Dyke path between Kington and Hay. Well worth a visit if you are on the footpath - the church is open during the summer with a kettle and tea-making equipment to refresh tired walkers. Biscuits, too.

Colour postcard, 1000 editions. Given out during Shades of Grey tour, UK and US during January 2010.
