Clun Castle sits high on a natural rocky mound in a loop of the river Clun, on the edge of the small, picturesque town of the same name. Founded shortly after the Norman Conquest to demonstrate the authority of the English monarchy over this part of the border region, the castle and the nearby settlement prospered in the 13th century thanks to the management of the Fitzalan family, but suffered a number of attacks from across the Welsh border. It was used as a hunting lodge in the 14th century, but was increasingly neglected, and by 1539 the castle was reported as ruinous.
The Cat’s Eye Flea Market in Walnut Grove, Missouri, is a favorite of mine. The old building is empty, and the business moved to a different location in town. However, I think it has closed as well. The building in the photo has a corner location and just seems to have such character, in spite of the crumbling bricks and boarded-up windows. I’d never be able to go inside, however, because of the Parallel Parking requirement....
Sometimes you just feel that a certain place has something, a vibe, an energy, well something 😆
This place has that something 🙏

An old cabin we found on our way hiking today. Not quite sure if it was meant for sleeping, but it sure was cute.
I have no idea but the architecture here is so fun to look at and wonder. I’m assuming it was a warehouse as railroad tracks run only a few feet from it. Located down a quiet street on the way to Captain Scott’s in New London, CT.

This fine Building was built in 1810 and is one of the last surviving Buildings of its Era in East Hull ..It was known as Sutton Hall until it ceased to be a private residence in the 1940s..It later became a Care Home ..

It was a bit of a grey day for a drive in Grey County. But I love the bit of light that made the center of this old home glow. One of my goals this winter was to finish up the series of 6 little books about our ancestors with stories and old photographs that I digitized. I am working on the last book now and our daughters have received the first 4 books. One daughter said " How do I know NOTHING about them? How unfair that our developing brains are so self-indulgent and self-obsessed that we couldn't appreciate that they had incredible lives while they were alive to talk about it!!!"
I certainly have learned more about our ancestors by going through documents and photographs carefully....now that I have the time. It feels good to pass on these stories to the next generations.
I have photographed this building before. It must have great "bones" as it is still standing!
