I've just caught up with, and read, this whole thread and I think you're all wonderful and you do make me laugh  :)

I think the 'urinating' man is actually talking to someone who is beyond the foliage in front of him standing in the doorway of the ? third cottage further along on the right.  There is a white splodge there on the photo which I believe is a person's face.  If it was a more recent photo I'd say he was an Amazon delivery man with a package he'd just brought along in his cart.

But no better idea about where it is.  Sorry  :(

I think you are right about the face. There are also two figures just past him walking along the road, they look like young children by their size, another reason I don't think he is doing anything he shouldn't be doing!

Just to be clear - the urinating man was a tongue in cheek comment, as was the blind sister.

There was a whole story building up around a mythical community of nuns, and I just wanted to point out that other interpretations were available.

Oh sorry, yes Mike, I did realise.  That's why I put my adjective about him in quotes.

I was also joking about the Amazon delivery.  ;)

I didn't think this posting  would attract SO much "interest"! At the time of writing 84 / 1,460 Replies / Views from Lavatories to Libya and Amazon to Have a pee.
    
Interesting post by dublin1850, for which I thank you. I'm wondering now if I should move my 'hunch' to Ireland?

Had yet another close look - amazing just how much you can see upon return looks - not that it's going to help locate it but the bay window property at the end of the rank could be a shop, there's a white chicken by the single female and a darker one by the porch (!) , and it could well be a Church where Rhododendron has mentioned (thank you). It's different from the chimney stacks.
