The round house in the Park by rosiekind

The round house in the Park

I've posted a shot of this before but not from this angle and it was a long time ago. As I'm not supposed to do much walking, I decided to drive over to the village I grew up in as I was looking for some shots for an up and coming competition at Camera Club and the theme is rural architecture. It was nice driving round the village although the house I grew up in has a very overgrown garden that my father would have hated as he kept it all so perfect.

This house used to belong to a little old lady that I used to visit and she had a canary in a round cage inside the house. Oh the memories this brings back of happy carefree days when nobody was frightened to open their doors and the children were welcomed into homes without the thought of abuse and I had never heard the word paedophile. Little did I know in those days that I would be the head of safeguarding children in the local NHS Trust as it was then. Oh how times have changed and really not for the better!

Thank you for all your kind comments and for reading this waffle if you have decided to do so.
Beautiful building and I bet it has some wonderful stories. FAV

This is lovely and so unusual. And isn't it the truth. Growing up in my Whittier, California neighborhood parents were afraid to let their kids out in the morning and have them gone most of the day -- at friends down the street, around the corner..... in the neighboring park. What a shame kids today can't be as free......

Lovely shot of this cute little building. One of my brothers lives in Roxton & I had school friends (back in the 1960's) that lived in the village. I'm quite surprised I've never met you Rosie !!! Back in the days when this area was much more rural.

@dizzyd It is amazing that we don't know each other but I left Roxton when I was 16 in 1967 and I knew almost everyone in the village then. Now I don't know hardly anyone

Lovely characterful cottage. We have several of them around here and they are referred to as the Dutch cottages. I believe they housed Dutch workers who came over to help reclaim land from the sea.
