I love that!
I walked down to the local Aldi after sunset this evening and there was still a comforting blue glow in the sky to the west.

Ah now that is another thing that is fun ... unless it's in your own garden!

A day of frequent heavy showers and bright sunshine between, produced the perfect conditions to mess around with my new camera and see if I could capture the beauty of fresh raindrops in the garden.

Does anyone else see the beauty in what I call derelict...old barns, fen wooden houses, corrugated roofed simple farm buildings, anything that's decaying....
Alternatively, I'm always happy to see anything old in the countryside, an old gulley, old farm gate or even just a lone surviving gatepost thats being absorbed back into nature...who passed through it, how long ago ?

That'll be on Grand Designs before you can say 'well, we budgeted thirty five pounds and seventy five pence for the whole restoration but the glass wall and doors along the whole of the one side of the house came in at one hundred and seventy five thousand alone, and that's before the bespoke hand made kitchen and bathroom.'

I see places like that and think: filming set for serial killer drama.
But some decaying stuff CAN be interesting, for sure. This is a good source:

Ha ha!
There is an old stone building on a hillside above Hebden Bridge which has been derelict the whole time that I have been cycling up there - well over 30 years. A tree has actually grown inside the property over the years! It has been up for sale a few times but never sold, or if it DID sell, then the new owners didn't do anything with it. It would make a magnificent home if someone restored it properly.
On closer inspection, it could make 2 or 3 decent-sized cottages. It would be a lot of work, but they would be worth hundreds of thousands of pounds each.
I haven't been up there for a year so things might have changed in that time, but I doubt it...

Apparently it now has a swimming pool and a heli-pad.
