What more could a working man want...? - # 117

The area of Richmond and the associated villages of Ham and Petersham abound in specially designated "conservation areas". However, the pressures of modern day traffic, the demands for affordable housing, the pressures from central government to fill in every remaining bit of space that can be built on, the demands for unsightly mobile phone masts, and so on are a serious threat to areas that are beautiful, but old and highly fragile.

In search of the true "workman's cottage" - # 116

Perhaps I should be firmer, and not allow popular, and minority interests to knock me off my course. However, I crave public approval, and will therefore respond to comments and go off in search of a few Workman's cottages around about Richmond. It's going to be a bit of a "cute gardens" and "divine doors and windows" trip, but we will enjoy it; I promise.

For me, again, this is another benefit from the City Daily Photo fever. It drives you out and forces you to look about and notice and discover things that you've overlooked before. Secondly, people from all over get great enjoyment from seeing different things from around the world.
