I do appreciate all the comments that my friends on 365 are so good at to make me feel they enjoy my photos!
After a hectic week with family, one who can’t eat egg or gluten and thats a challenge at all times but she’s worth it, we are now home. I can now indulge in my own pleasure at seeing life as it happens in the world of 365 once again.
Three good things;
1.This picture was in a tiny village where we stopped for fuel - a rural and unmanned pump which is very modern compared to this poor home!
2. Home after 6 days away and lots of adventures, gorgeously comfortable beds, delicious food - duck confit for one choice!
3. Able to visit an SIL who is 89 soon, an independent lady, living by herself but inclined not to look after herself. She has cellulitis and really doesn’t know how serious this can be! Fixed her ceiling light, told her she was doing fine and made sure she had her heating up far enough! It was only on 17degC.
Thought this could be the state of your house after you have been away for a bit......only joking but my friend has been to China for five weeks & the person she had to mow her lawn never turned up....her garden was like a jungle! Nice to travel but nicer to come home!
Cool photo. Always nice to come home after a trip away, no matter how good it was and yours was quite an adventure. Your sister-in-law sounds like a great lady to still be living independently at 89.
@nickspicsnz She is, Nick - been on her own since her husband left her 30 years ago! She's lost her sense of smell and taste but importantly has a smoke alarm in her kitchen now!
Wouldn't like to spend a night in this cottage, but I like the bull-nosed verandah roof and it could be a good do up for someone who wanted to get away from it all. Very nice shot.
@kiwichick I've got more time to view photos, Lesley but besides that I don't know what to do with myself! Can't be bothered doing things - life has been rather exciting!
That is so very kind of you to care for this old lady. Living on your own by oneself is very difficult, indeed. Wherever you go it's home that you want to return to. Beautiful shot full of mystery.
So glad to know this was not the condition of your home when you returned! I understand about the gluten-free, special diet thing as both d-I-l s have dietary issues! I should complain but it has made me eat healthier to help them out when they visit. Good shot and glad you had such a good time with your family and that your s-I-l is also doing well.
Seems to be a step back in time. I like your processing.
PS -- Husband has been trying to be gluten free, but fortunately for me, he's our cook! It is amazing, though, to me, how much you can do without gluten. I miss breads though.
Wonderful processing on this one.....makes it look even older than it probably is!! So glad it was not the state of your home when you returned!! ;-)))
What a character full run down place !

Always good to come home to home comforts
