So glad I had my phone with me :).


Hi all -
I am recovering from a rotten cold.
Feeling better now so off to see
what other photo bloggers have to share and
leave a comment or two, or three.....

No Apologies

Coombe Country Park
Taken from the Bird Hide


Amazing the quality of photograph you can get with
a mobile phone...and this one is a Moto G (3rd Gen) 
not my iPhone.  I have shown many images of this
view out the window.  No apologies - here is another one :).

Above - 1956 Jaguar D-Type 'Long Nose'.

Thatched Roof Thursday #91/92 - Peatling Parva

Parva Cottage and Rose Cottage
Ashby Road


A pair of cottages (Grade II Listed)
built in mid 18th Century.

This style of building (two houses together)
is often seen in modern day houses here in England,  
called 'semi-detached'.  Fun to see an 18th Century version.


I am guessing these are one-bedroom homes. The addition of
a conservatory gives some extra space.
Parva Cottage is on the left and Rose Cottage is on the right.
