Just things...

I have been tagged by rosie I had to go to my picture list chose the fourth folder and the fourth pic in that folder. Well here we are this is a picture of a house or rather two houses that I love. I walk past them everyday when I take the dogs for a walk. I have loved this house since I was knee high to a grasshopper. My friends and I used to pretend that Queen Elizabeth 1st lived there and it was her secret court, I think that had to do with a book by Rosemary Sutcliffe which I believe was called The Queen Elizabeth Story, written in about 1950. One of my favourite books as a child.

I don't know if you can see it on the photo but where the front doors are, is a little bridge, which I find so tantalizing, it could be a bridge across a moat where a nasty dragon lives. What I love most about these houses is the amazing view from the back. It was a bit misty when I took this, but from this house you can see a great deal of Sheffield and to the right hand side, just off the picture, the hills of Derbyshire and the National Trust Peak park.This house is on a lovely tree lined road and bang across the road from the church I was baptized at and married at.

On the way home from taking the dogs, I walk past this house at the end of our road, I have known the guy who lives here for more than 30 years. He has always been interested in antiques and weird and wonderful objects. I love the colours of the advertisments, those lovely old colours, beautiful pictures. He also has a telelphone box and a post box in his garden, and at the front of the house, there is a large clock - almost like a station clock, or one that you would have seen outside a jewellers. Marcus is fastidious and this clock is always always at the correct time - actually its great if you think you are late and running for a bus.

Well there you go, that was fun, if you fancy having a go at this tag, then please do, 4th folder, 4th picture...
