House.! Can't think of a title!

On my way home through Worsley I spied this beautiful house, I only had my P&S on me so parked up quickly at the side of the road to snap it.

Had a little crisis during the night....earlier in the evening I had gone upstairs to the second floor & decided to bleed the landing radiator.
To cut a long story short at 2.30 am we had this cry for help, the water was running down the floor boards through the ceiling on to one of the beds.

At first I couldn't think where the water was coming from but as soon as I went upstairs I realised I hadn't shut the valve on the radiator!
In the middle of the night there was I trying to mop the water out of the carpet when one of the B&B's came out to see what was going on...of coarse I couldn't get back to sleep for ages.

Three good things:
1. A lovely bunch of Chrysanthemums from the said B&B.
2. Seeing Trish again & having a chatty lunch.
3. Both cats present & correct!
Sounds like a miserable night but this was worth stopping for.hope you get good rest tonight and the carpets dry up well

@jgpittenger The worst part was the horrible rusty stain coming from the radiator! Might have to get a rug!!!!

@happypat Argh. Wonder what carpet destruction will happen in NYC and NJ tonight!

@jgpittenger Yes poor things & there is me moaning on about my bit of carpet.....the damage will be heart breaking on the east coast, you are nowhere near there are you?

Oh what a night!! Hope you have a restful one tonight to compensate!
Love your photo.....blue sky and little clouds!

This house is unusual! Love to see it during the day! Hope the water damage is not too bad! Perhaps you got to it quickly! Good about the cats!

@happypat No, I live on the west coast. I have kids and grandkids on the east coast though. Keeping my fingers crossed

@sparkle Sometimes you can be too tired & revved up to sleep but thanks for the sympathetic lying awake!!!!

Great shot, beautiful sky and clouds! Sorry to hear about the radiator.

Lovely shot - like your processing. Thanks for reminding me, I need to go bleed my radiators. Once I find that little key. And a towel!

What a stately looking home! And the sky is simply awesome. Sounds like you had a rough night, Pat!

Oh how dramatic Pat!!!! A great story for them to remember Halloween by! Glad you got it all sorted...Love the end of this rather grand house, is that a bird house or what?

A pity this didn't happen when you had your B&Bs from hell it would have given them some thing to moan about, I like the picket fence., & pleased your cats are OK Pat
