Redundant

This very run down building belongs to the house with the bricked up windows I posted a good while ago.
An elderly couple live there & sadly it’s all looking rather run down.
I pass by on my usual walk.

This wasn’t the photo I wanted to post today. I had it all planned to take a photo of my friend making masks at her sewing machine but as her house is up for sale & she was expecting viewers all was tidied away.

Three good things:
1. A decision finally on whether we have to wear face masks in shops. I’m all for it, anything as simple as that & could stop anyone catching coronavirus can’t be bad.
2. My friend is very busy making the masks, at it until 2am this morning. She has recently lost her husband so is enjoying the visitors collecting them & giving her a purpose. All proceeds to Leukaemia.
3. Top coat on my plastering. Sanding down tomorrow & then painting.
A great capture of dilapidation

Great shot - love shots of old building ! So pleased that masks are made compulsory !

That's a rather lovely shot of the old buildings - pig sty perhaps. I like the pov, textures and colours. I think we had a similar sky here.

Certainly looks a bit unloved.. George Clarke would love to get his hands on its.. Sounds like your sewing friend is doing her bit for the community..

Thanks for sharing.

@julzmaioro I’ve sold about twenty for her even before the new rules came out. She’s enjoying it all. Lovely Liberty Print masks too.

Needs some repairs.

It really does need a bit of TLC, doesn't it? It can be hard as you age to keep on top of every aspect of a property or land. Bless your friend for her work. I have a close family member with leukaemia, so that warms my heart.

Such a pity to see the buildings not being maintained well. ....but it takes a lot of effort and can easily become too much.
Good for your mask making friend! I was given a lovely one by a friend of mine and have great intentions of making some myself. I did have the sewing machine out to make a kneeling mat for Allan when he is weeding in his 'other garden' - he is using the garden of a lady in the village to keep it in action. Her husband died last year and it had been well kept so she had an advert in the paper shop and Allan is enjoying it .....great potato crop and lots more.

It might be unloved but it looks quite inviting.

I expect the elderly couple have got used to it and it will be up to the family to change when they go!

So many beautiful textures.

it may be redundant and run down , but it makes for a lovely photo

It does look a bit sad but makes a great photo subject.

Oh dear. Well I hope the couple have family checking on them. This is a sad sight, for sure. It is wonderful that your friend has found something to bring her a little joy. We wear masks in stores and in the one restaurant we go to, until we are seated. It’s just part of our life now.

Hope they are ok in there
July 15th, 2020  
Yes, a bit of TLC wouldn't go amiss. Nice capture though.

The bricks don’t look very stable! Again I’m impressed with your plastering work!
July 15th, 2020  
@louannwarren @jgpittenger They are ok & my fault to give the impression they live in a mess but the house they live in next door is fine but scruffy....needs work shall we say! They are fine & daughter visits.

@maggiemae I think that’s exactly the case maggie....this is just the outbuilding but the house is neglected but ok. Not sure if you remember the one with the blocked up windows ...I should do a link here but can’t remember how!

This is the house they live in!

@happypat

Oh wow - I will take the outbuildings!
July 15th, 2020  
Looks
like it needs a lot of work to make it ship shape again.

A sad photo in a way but very photogenic nevertheless.
