One of a number of lesser black-backed and herring gulls that are looking to stake a claim on the neighbourhood chimney stacks. Might be time to get a cover for the car and a crash helmet! I've been attacked several times by nesting gulls when working on the Liverpool University campus.
Well, off we go, we've been waiting and have been preparing for this moment for a while now but our house in Faversham is sold and we can spread our wings and go looking for our perfect home in the beautiful Suffolk or Cornish countryside, exciting!
I have to admit with Faversham becoming part of the Medway Towns as a giant housing development creeps inextricably along the Thames towards Whitstable, Kent looking like one huge building site, traffic jamming up every road and rubbish and grime and fly-tipping filling every woodland and lining every country lane this moment could not come at a better time, its the right time to leave and can that last someone out turn off the lights.......
I've seen jackdaws nest in chimneys before. I couldn't help but wonder if this one was checking out the possibilities.
Sabilisville, Maryland
My daughter, Tam, is starting to envision her next home after the family home is old. She is very eager to escape the hideous encroaching mega-mansion-monstrosities which are devouring the beautiful countryside that has been home since I was a child.
This place was wonderful and rang all the bells except it actually is in a too crowded location (but its easy to not show that in a photo, as we all know). Disappointing - and very educational.
Its very close to the Maryland-Pennsylvania border outside of Thurmont. I cannot find it on the map here.
or a UFO, take your pick...one of our anemones decided to look for a new place to live, which means it drifted around the tank for a while until it found a place it liked. Doesn't happen too often but I got some good pics and video.
CC Week 15: The Virus and Me
Househunting and traveling during "Shelter in Place" came with a unique set of challenges, including lots of fast food take-out and not being present for inspections. To me, "challenge" sometimes means "adapt" or "try harder" but never "give up".
Beginning the search for a new home. Excited about maybe not moving this year, as I have in many years past.
Standing at the back of the living room. This view is so pretty in person! The stairs curve in a really interesting way.
This is the male of the white-breasted nuthatch pair that was scouting out my nesting box. I haven't seen them there in a couple of days, though. (Of course, I've been chained to my desk and haven't been able to make sure if they've taken up residence or not.)
Because of continuing workload demands, I can't go visiting and commenting, or even reciprocating, as much as I would like to. Please bear with me, and with this message. Thanks for being such loyal visitors.

keep your fingers crossed.... this is ONE of the two walk in closets in the master (i don't even have to tell you how much this excites me) this house has everything we need and most of what we want!
Love the tiles, built-in cabinets and window bench. This house just wasn't exactly what we wanted. Unusable garage and no bathroom upstairs were problems. Example of a small house that was painted and furnished as well as it could be.
The huge bonus would have been the empty lot, approx. 20x100 next to it. Purchased by someone else a while ago, they tore down the existing small home, only to find out that the easement codes had changed and that they basically couldn't build any sort of home on the lot. According to the realtor selling this home, the lot owners were asking for just $8k!
Someone with extra $ could have torn down the existing garage or turned it into a shed, then paved a new driveway, put up a new garage and made a huge garden/yard in the adjacent lot.
This house was kept in really good condition. It was very large. For example, there was a walk-in coat closet just off the front living room that could have been used as a sewing room or small office.
Problems with this place were: located on a very busy street, close to the most accident prone intersection in Springfield; backyard that was completely full of gravel! New garage, with doors on both sides, so you could access it from the alley, but the yard would have been a major undertaking.
I love this place. I love this area.
That is the garage you see... it's in much better shape than the house. If we were crazy enough to try to buy this we would probably be living in the garage! We knew the house was in need of work, but inspecting closely it seems more like a tear down. All the structural beams are dry rotting and there is no foundation :( The siding is touching the ground on most sides and the outer walls appear to be rotting away. Still amazed how these places are let go.
