Dorothy's house

The view of Dorothy's house that I can see when I'm hanging out the washing today.
Poor Dorothy who is in her eighties has shingles at the moment, a nasty thing to suffer from I believe.

Just noticed my shadow there in full view...very amateurish!

The gas incident has caused chaos here & in the surrounding district . There are gas vans everywhere & Gas men delivering heaters & portable cookers to all those who rely solely on gas.
The Cartford Inn has had to close so some people who are booked for the night there are coming to stay here....I must wow them with my facilities so they don't go back there!
I will charm them into staying with me every time they visit the area!!
We are actually going out tonight to Jack's 21st party . His birthday tomorrow but he has come home for a family party tonight.

Can't comment again tonight I'm afraid.......all calms down next week!
Thank you for your comments!

Great capture of Dorothy's house. Sorry she is suffering from shingles at her age; I'm so afraid of it that I went to get the vaccine but they didn't give it to me because I am not 60, can you imagine?!

@anazad511 Shingles is a horrid thing Ana ...I think it should be a vaccine for all. If they can prevent anyone getting it they should! I might enquire when I go to the docs next....unfortunately I am old enough!!

Love the sunshine catching the thatched roofs.

Nice to see a glimpse of your neighborhood

A beautiful shot in mellow light. I can sympathise with Dorothy as Ray had shingles years ago in his back and was in a lot of pain. (It's good the lack of gas has done you a favour!)

Lovely warm light - another busy time for you. Hope your dear neighbour gets better quickly.

[Myrna O'Hara]

There seems to be three houses there - poor Dorothy - that nasty condition sent my mother in her eighties to a rest home. Have fun at the party!

[Babs]

Lovely house and I think your shadow in the picture is perfect, it looks as though you are waving to Dorothy. Hope she is well again soon.

[Julia]

Shingles are horrible. I had it several years ago.

Dorothy has a beautiful home. So sorry about her shingles. I had it once but had really no symptoms except a small rash. In fact, I didn't believe then doctor when he told me.

[Phil Howcroft]

very english Pat, nice dappled light too

[Matt Clendon]

You certainly do live in a lovely area, Pat. Picture postcard beautiful.

What a lovely home! And so great to have neighbors nearby but not underfoot. (I wouldn't have noticed your shadow if you hadn't mentioned!)
