Having taken piano lessons as a yoof', I wandered into this Cambridge UK. store, 2017, to look at the 'Bechstein' ,.assuming that it was very well used,. being an unbelievable low price of £1,299 to discover this was 'just one' of 47 further monthly installments !!, to meet the full price of £61.900,....... I wandered out again. A ''HBM'' to everyone on iper'... from > David J.

Delving back into some older photo's to find a fence with bit of included sunshine,. (zero here in UK).... here is 'Rua da Misercordia' an entrance to the old town of Faro' Portugal., October 2016.

A quick snap from the,. 'Dog and Bone'.... ( phone ) Local horses for ever munching whatever on the ground., a youngster looks on.

Although a sunny day,. frosty mist and crisp white meadow awaits walkers over the stile where the slight warmth of the sun never touched., due to tree cover or shade. A ''Happy fence Friday'' to everyone and ''Good Wishes'' too - from David J.

Clear skies and sunshine,. but a hard frost remains in shaded areas and still bitter cold,., as we amble down our local woods. One lone jogger - two dog walkers and a few squirrels were the only other signs of life.

A view North East across .. 'Borth-y-Gest' towards Snowdonia National Park - North Wales... the Welsh narrow guage Highland railway steam train can be seen proceeding along 'The Cob' a man made raised road - rail - footpath and sea barrier., completed in 1811.

A rather grim and cold local woods walk, treading through the remaining crunchy snow,. where the footpath forks to a bridge across the River Rother.

In Chesterfield UK. 11th Nov.. Excitedly I rushed in to apply for the post,.... they threw me out.... I don't know why,.... I think I would have been quite good at the job. Just a fantasy,. the notice to the left - might not necessarily exist,.. ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)

A return to Brodsworth hall and a look at the gardens,. always kept immaculate by staff.. ahead is a walkway with a sunken garden to each side.

Brodsworth Hall, in South Yorkshire, one of the most complete surviving examples of a Victorian country house in England. It is virtually unchanged since the 1860s. It was designed by the London architect, Philip Wilkinson, then 26 years old. He was commissioned by Charles Thellusson, who inherited the estate in 1859, but the original estate was constructed in 1791. The house is open to visitors via the 'English Heritage' network

Pictured outside of the craft shop in the beautiful, but touristy town of 'Beddgelert' in North Wales,. is this skilfully carved bench featuring an assortment of Owls,. the whole thing being worked from a solid piece. ** More Hooty on black: press Z (or click the picture :) ** The above add on idea,. (just the one) thanks to Nicolas Mertons (˚◡˚)

Over the stile and into the dark local woods - Have a good weekend - and a HFF from > David j.

''The Street'' in the village of 'Tissington' near Ashbourne - Derbyshire.. a most beautiful and quintessential English country village recorded in the Domesday book in 1086 as ''Tizinctun'' where 70% of the dwellings are listed - [ Identified as being of National importance due to ''architectural or historic interest'' ] Maybe the roads building team couldn't think of a name,.. or it was the weekend and they were in a hurry to get off home..... (˚◡˚)

A lofty view of ''Port Madoc'' as we English say it, and a scene much changed from when Porthmadog flourished as a port, its population rising from 885 in 1821 to over 3,000 by 1861. The rapidly growing cities around the world needed high-quality roofing slate, which was brought to the port by tramway from nearby quarries. By 1873 over 116,000 tons were exported through Porthmadog in over a thousand ships. Several shipbuilders were active at this time. Today of course - the port is given over to tourist / leisure visits with the resulting increased accommodation. [ some of the info' from 'Wiki' ]

Ahead,. a lone walker,.. follows the 'Wales coastal path' towards the town of 'Criccieth' the ruins of the thirteenth century castle can be seen., 2 Km into the distance. A ''HFF'' and 'Good Wishes' to everyone - from > David J.
