No Mail Today! HFF!
The croft in the mist

My link is from the Box Tops - 'The Letter'

This old abandoned and unloved croft made me think of my second link

Seal and 'Love Don't Live Here Anymore"

Ecobird club has replied to Percy Schramm club
Thank you very much Percy. It made me smile sitting there by the ruined croft and looking so bright and fresh and with no other buildings close by it was a bit of an oddity. HFF and have a great weekend

Ecobird club has replied to Christa1004 club
Many thanks Christa. I had almost forgotten about the song myself, - you know what it is like when you have a vague memory of a song but can't quite recall the title or maybe the band name. (Maybe it is just old age in my case - Lol!) HFF and have a great weekend

Oh, this is great, Carol. The red letterbox really stands out.

I like both songs. I was so surprised to hear Seal do this song that I remember from Madonna only. Of course he nails it. :)

HFF to you and a good weekend too!

Ecobird club has replied to Karen's Place club
Thank you very much Karen. The version I remember mostly is the Rose Royce one way back. Madonna does a great version too but this was a good excuse to add the Seal song. HFF and I hope you have a great weekend.

That’s great. in my experience it’s when using a remote postbox like this the Royal Mail really works I.e. letters arrive and often quicker than when posted city to city

Ecobird club has replied to Colin Ashcroft club
Thank you Colin. You are probably right at that! My apologies for the late response. - family issues mean I am spending little time here at present. Enjoy the rest of your week.

A beautiful scene, Carol, though I always feel saddened by these abandoned crofts. And the mail box there - how unlikely! Good links too. Slightly belated HFF, I hope your weekend is going well.

Ecobird club has replied to tiabunna club
Thank you very much George. I do agree with you - it is sad to see abandoned crofts. I was a little surprised to see the mailbox there especially as there were no other buildings nearby. My apologies for the very late HFF response but my dad was taken ill and has been in hospital. Enjoy the rest of your week

Just put a thatch on that Carol and I'm there :-)) What a beautiful scene and in the overcast weather it shows a little sadness that there is no longer anyone occupying the cottage.
A belated HFF and wishing you a good and sunny weekend.

Schade, Carol.
Die Menschen haben kein entsprechendes Einkommen und müssen ihre geliebte Heimat verlassen.
Eine mystische Szene, gefällt mir sehr.
Freundliche Grüße und ein schönes Wochenende

Wonderful atmosphere to this composition Carol. The contrast of the red against the grey is impressive. Missed it last week, away on a very damp Skye.

All the best, Doug
