This screamed "accident waiting to happen". So I waited for it to happen. I stood there thinking about how I would begin the story that I would inevitably tell. "A man was trying to position a window in the frame and he dropped it. Shattered everywhere!" But he didn't drop it. And I had no story.
Instead, I was left with the question "How did he actually install this thing with his hands in that position?" I just don't understand.
I so wanted to go in this barn, could just imagine the rays of sun coming through those little windows. Unfortunately, it might have been neglected, but it wasn't abandoned !
Our neighbour's apple tree has a few branches hanging over on our side of the fence........starting to look good enough to eat!!
HFF!
The story goes: Dick, a boy from Gloucestershire comes to London to make his fortune, with a cat. He is tempted to return home. Climbing Highgate Hill from Archway, he hears the Bow Bells of London ringing, and believes they are sending him a message. He becomes prosperous because of the rat-catching skills of the cat, marries his master's daughter Alice Fitzwarren (whom in life he married 1402 aged 52) and is made Lord Mayor of London three times first in 1397.
Whittington donated much to the city. He financed:
the rebuilding of the Guildhall
a ward for unmarried mothers at St Thomas' Hospital
drainage systems around Billingsgate and Cripplegate
the rebuilding St Michael Paternoster Royal
a public toilet that was cleansed by the River Thames at high tide
most of Greyfriars library
He also provided accommodation for his apprentices in his own house.
He passed a law prohibiting the washing of animal skins by apprentices in the River Thames in cold, wet weather because many young boys died hypothermia or in the strong river currents.
Whittington left £7,000 in his will, a large sum, with a modern-day equivalence of about £3m. Some was used to
rebuild Newgate Prison and Newgate and accommodation in it for the Sheriffs and Recorder the forerunner of that in the Old Bailey
build the first library in Guildhall
repair St Bartholomew's Hospital
the creation of his 'college' i.e. almshouse and hospital originally at St Michael's
install some of the first public drinking fountains
The almshouses were relocated in 1966 to Felbridge near East Grinstead. Sixty elderly women and a few married couples currently live in them. The Whittington Charity also disburses money each year to the needy through the Mercers' Company.
So very tempting, but my wife and I had set out to hike to a water fall that day. Next door to Lumpy's which I hear is now out of business.
We theorized that we'd investigate every turn-off/hike/view proffered on the road to Hana, and pretty much stuck with that conviction(barring parking impossibilities). The first big hike on Highway 360 is Twin Falls, marked by a popular fruit stand. My wife walked a ways and then returned to car, nursing her swollen foot. I ventured to the falls with camera in tow.
I'm tempted to string some beads from the top of this tree. Dunno if anyone else would get it, though. They'd probably just swipe the beads.
couldn't make it to our original hostel (already 10pm) and decided to stay in this hostel on the way

You could lay down there and stare at the sky or sea and do nothing else.
A young fox sorely tempted...
I am a Kent artist, and can waste hours watching my pets and other beasties, and enjoy trying to capture their antics in paint.

A few degrees warmer and I might of jumped in. There's something about mountain lakes and river pools that pulls me over and causes me to take the plunge. Melakwa Lake, Cascade Mountains, USA
It is difficult to walk past a bar or pub and not see some sort of offer relating to cheap drinks & a "Happy Hour" (that can last all day!)
This is a typical example

Look at that can of beans... just sittin' there lookin' pretty and tempting with that 'come and enjoy me' look. It's almost like she knows she's the belle-of-the-ball and that ever'thing 'bout her is all so attractive and desirable. Why, she's that can-a-beans your mama warned you 'bout... you know, the one who tempts you with her charms... and brings you to your ruin! Great men fall in just a flash on account of her. Greater men than me.
Wait a minute! Did I just write this about a stinkin' can of beans? I sure did. And... I'm not even a big fan of beans. They're all right, but nothin' special to me. Not sure why I wrote that. Perhaps I was thinkin' of something else? And, why did I write as if it were feminine?? Weird! But hey... I'm not really sure why I even painted those beans in the first place!
Okay, pass the burrito shell and let's eat.
