None of this was a problem in those days! I agree about the houses.....flouncy and ugly.

Also wanted a warden case for plants, they always look so graceful in illustrations.<br />Will look the house up, Hardy's house was on the TV the other day, the elaboration of these 'posh' houses clash very much with the simpler lines of the cottages...thelmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934860502828923562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613585301584630832.post-36164520282645007362014-11-13T06:51:12.547+00:002014-11-13T06:51:12.547+00:00First time I had come across him, watching him cut...First time I had come across him, watching him cut paper for collage, and he was so happy in his work, Yorkshire bred then, there is a painter in The Reading Gallery, who paints tumbling down houses, a bit childlike but very colourful, can't remember her name.thelmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934860502828923562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613585301584630832.post-68756285637849008152014-11-12T18:47:18.259+00:002014-11-12T18:47:18.259+00:00Gosh, I'd love a cabinet of curiosities!

It might tidy away a few flints and seaside keepsakes for starters, and the little bits of pot, and glass and what have you, dug up here.<br /><br />As for odd houses, I don't have a link, but the one that Elizabeth Barrett-Browning grew up in near Leominster is Very Odd Indeed - designed by her papa, it looks for all the world if someone stuck gigantic Smartie tubes around the outside!
