.....well, things have gone a bit wonky over 300 years, but it still looks good. (Houses around the south side of Richmond Green).

300 year old? They are STILL very good! Who do live in those houses?
ReplyDeleteWonky indeed! I feel distinctly sea-sick!!
ReplyDeleteJust imagine all the carpenters down through the generations who've served their time planing down the doors and windows to fit.
ReplyDeleteThe amazing thing about houses is they always remain in fashion. Cars, clothes, music... all fall out of favor, but houses remain firmly placed in the living present.
I love a bit of wonk.
ReplyDeleteI guess most of us would be happy to live even on the ground - servants' - floor!
