Sorry folks but here are more photos, this time from my walk this morning.
I wanted to take a look at the other side of town to see if there are any locations that would suit us.
An hour and a half, finishing with a good flat section along the promenade.
I couldn't resist photographing a couple of interesting buildings side by side on the prom...
So...tell me about Bleak House. *waits with chin in hand*.
ReplyDeleteOooh. I just watched a video. Has it been fixed up or are they still tangled up in court?
ReplyDeleteThe saga is still dragging on I believe. I just can't imagine how much it would cost to renovate that place now!
DeleteBleak House does indeed look bleak. I believe that Charles Dickens wrote a novel about it.
ReplyDeleteIt couldn't get much bleaker could it
DeleteBleak House in name and appearance. But it's a beautiful old house. Needs big bucks I guess.
ReplyDeleteOh I do love good flat sections. Particularly with a cafe at the end of them
Plenty of cafes Linda!
DeleteDid you spot any possible locations for your next home? Looks like a busy city!
ReplyDeleteIt is a very small town but a working town so lots going on. I saw a few locations I like but P says they are too far to walk to buy a newspaper and a pint of milk!
DeleteIt looks like the sort of small town I could live. Excellent to have a few things like a small shop or two within walking distance.
ReplyDeleteOh yes Rachel, that is exactly what we were looking for when we decided to move. Just hoping we can now find a place to buy that is as convenient.
Delete'Bleak House' looks fun. A total mess other than the two perfectly gilded balls at the entrance. Someone has a sense of humour!
ReplyDeleteLipstick on a pig?
DeleteIf that gets demolished it will make a hole in the style and appearance of the neighbourhood. It is a shame that property is allowed to deteriorate to such an extent. We are surrounded by bleak houses in Piraeus; unfortunately the vast majority are being demolished by gravity.
ReplyDeleteIt is, sadly, a famous local landmark, notorious for its state of decay and probably no longer repairable.
DeleteIt reminds me of Llandudno with its Victorian buildings and promenade. It looks a good place to walk.
ReplyDeleteThere are lots of Victorian buildings in the town, and many road names such as Victoria, Albert, Walpole. etc.
DeleteThe promenade is quite long so a good flat walk.
