Taking the air. by happypat

Taking the air.

Loved the sight today of some of the elderly residents of this elegant house sitting in the sun & generally enjoying our glorious summer weather. Some were in wheel chairs & some with sticks but you could tell they were enjoying themselves.

Harrys father used to be a trustee for Bushels House & also the church next to it for years so was a big part of his youth.
Anyone living here takes their own furniture & the rooms are very large & well proportioned.
Rather a nice place to end your days I think if you are unable to stay in your own home.

Three good things:
1. No more funerals in the diary!
2. Meeting up with nephews I hadn't seen for ages & didn't recognise!!
3. The show ground is looking busy & DRY!
A very nice way to spend the time, in later years.

Love how you've processed this. Makes me think of "Quartet" - have you seen this movie?

Looks rather elegant - my 'mystery correspondent' said recently how sad he was that when his wife was dying last year the weather was rubbish and she couldn't get out - I agree - when you have old bones you need sun on them.

Lovely processing to give this a real vintage feel. What a great place to end one's days.

They all looked very content I must say, a small village with a shop round the corner where some of them can potter so a happy place...thank you for your comments!!

The TV program "Waiting for God" wasn't shot here was it? I loved those characters! I bet you are a favourite Aunt! Lovely shot of this place!

this is beautiful Pat, the monochrome slightly sepia effect give the image an almost timeless feel ......nothing in the frame tells you it is 2013

Very nice changing it to sepia to match with the elderly home. So nice they can enjoy the sunny weather.

Very nice processing on this gracious manor. So nice to see the residents out to enjoy the fresh air.
Wonderful shot.

Sounds like a decent place to end ones days. Unfortunately this can't be said for all homes. Nice sepia

It is such a big step when one needs to move into a place like this, but when it is a comfortable place, it help to make it a bit easier
