A Country Bumpkin MG :-D :-D ;-)

When we lived in our lovely cottage many moons ago…it had quite a bit of land and outhouses…..Dad grew all sorts of fruit n veg….he had a massive plot just to grow his Dahlias :-D :-D

I saw it for sale about 10 years ago 250,000, when Dad passed away we found the receipt for the purchase of the cottage…guess how much

A woman up the road had a beautiful Virginia Creeper right up to the roof. Sold the house.

The new owners decided to cut it down, and it pulled some of the cement out of the bricks. :-0 :-0
