On 26th January, I posted an image of a little crooked house in the front garden of a house in Torphins. I was back in the area on Monday, and took the opportunity of taking another photo - this time of the other crooked house (there are two). I thought it kind of fitted the 'architecture' theme, just in miniature, and I love the crooked chimney.
The ladies and I had fun remembering the old Nursery Rhyme. It's funny how you can forget someone's name, who told you what, who you've told what, what you went upstairs for ... BUT you can still remember the words of a nursery rhyme you learned about 60 years ago!
For the record ... There was a crooked man and he walked a crooked mile. He found a crooked sixpence against a crooked style. He bought a crooked cat, who caught a crooked mouse, and they all lived together in a little crooked house!
No googling was required for the reciting of that rhyme! ;-)
I love this wonderful capture of the little crooked house, such fabulous details! I too remember the crooked man nursery rhyme and can still recite most of the rhymes still today ;-)
What a great find I love it. The first thing I thought of when I saw this was the poem too and I can still remember it. What is my name again ha ha fav
Aren’t they extraordinary? I would just love one of those in my garden. There must be some story connected there….where did they get them, who made them etc. I remembered the rhyme but I don’t think I could have remembered the last lines!
Such a cleverly creative piece.
I know what you mean about remembering stuff.
That's a rhyme I could have joined in with. And some of the nonsense ones seem so easy to recall. 😊
Love this little house..
I really like this shot!

I can't imagine the time & skill it took to make.
I remember the poem well too.
How true how our memory works!
