The Camera in my Pocket... 2014..

£147,500'ish - just had a look what you get for that round here for that and the choice is pretty grim.

 

None around here at that price, you couldn't even buy a shell of a house

 

Besides borrowing money off parents, Help to Buy, etc. (which simply increase house prices), a couple of weeks ago I saw a new estate agents' idea on how to increase prices further - the suggestion of converting the integral double garage into self contained accommodation to let out and help pay the mortgage.

 

A Sunday stroll around some of my old haunts, on a cool and cloudy May afternoon.

Nice to see these girls enjoying a lie down.



The hawthorn blossom this spring is the best I've seen for several years.



These are the remnants of a grand old avenue of limes, which once lined the driveway to a large country house which burnt down in the late 18th century.



It's not called cow parsley for nothing then! Although when I got a little closer I could see she was actually munching on some tasty bramble tips too.

 

Lovely Trunky,that May is looking good and I love to see the Cow parsley too

 

They look nice and quite, but they still got there eyes on you

We got some cattle near us, and they're flightey as any thing, but they have been reared up with out seeing any humans just humans in a tractor or quad bike, no tlc , i can see there is going to be problems as there is 2 footpath crossing the fields

 

Had a lovely time doing another garden visit today, just a few miles down the road from us.

They only open one for weekend each year, but so glad I went. Feeling quietly proud too, as this is where my daughter currently works as an apprentice gardener.

 

......and a few more.

 

What an utterly exquisite garden and grounds Trunky. Lucky lass to learn the ropes there. Where is it please?

Thanks for the PM Trunky,
