I loved this view of life in Italy. Taking over an abandoned garage, this guy was moving modern windows and doors that contrast greatly with the items from the past that surround his shop. The Vespa going by was also very nice to see.

I noticed all the birds were walking up the walls this morning eating ladybirds.I heard them before I saw them, there were loads out on the tree outside, flying over to the outside wall and climbing up the outside to get to ladybirds that were climbing out of the windowframes.
NB dear reader, I spotted this un-selling bargain and as Mum had given me some birthday money, grabbed it fast. Turns out the previous owner (presumably) has upgraded this by painting the window frames to a very high standard! The other side is not quite so crisp around the edges but this is only noticeable under magnification. It looks as well like it has been very well painted, but I am unsure. Of course this could all be original, and I'm wrong! Scouring the web has only shown these without the coloured window frames, so I am thinking it was upgraded, making this very much a special bargain! I will add more images and more data as I get a round to it. Postage was £4.50 making this grand total of £15.49 - similar un-improved models are on sale now for £33 +!!!
I have a fascination with day-to-day items, simple or elaborate, big or small, they comprise our commonplace world and often share a good chunk of our lives with us. So, I figure, why not shoot them! They are immediate models and captured from a neat angle, in the right light, or just with a loving eye, they can be surprisingly beautiful.
This particular shot is of a latch on our living room window, taken against a pale blue sky that is still far more wintery than spring-like in its intensity.

Canonteign Barton - Listed Grade I

'Canonteign was a Domesday manor and the impressive Canonteign Barton or Old Canonteign was the Tudor manor house. In the Civil War it was garrisoned for the king, and taken by Fairfax in 1645. It was relegated to a farmhouse after Sir Edward Pellew (an illustrious naval commander who became the 1st Baron Exmouth) bought the manors of Christow and Canonteign in 1812 and built himself a new house in the park. Lead, silver, zinc and copper were mined in the parish in the mid 19th century, at Canonteign (where large waste tips remain near the road), at Reed in the north, and in the south at Hyner where barytes and other minerals were also produced. Water from nearby waterfalls was used in washing the ore. Micaceous haematite, a form of iron ore, was worked at Shuttamoor, in the south-west, for some years around 1900. There was also a large quarry at Scatter Rock on Christow Common where basalt was extracted up to 1950. The stone was conveyed to the former Christow Station on the Teign Valley Railway, an extension from Ashton to Exeter in 1903 which closed in 1958.

' Christow stands on the W. hillside of the Teign Valley. To the W. it rises well over 800 ft. to moorland where the two reservoirs of Tottiford and Kennick, supplying Torquay with water, lie. These cover nearly 74 acres; and here the scenery of the parish, which is everywhere of great beauty, reaches its loveliest.
Canonteign was the original Domesday manor. It was given to the canons of St Mary du Val in Normandy c.1125 and so acquired its prefix. Canonteign Barton or Old Canonteign was the Tudor manor house. It is a fine example of its period, built of local stone with massive granite quoins, windowframes, mullions, and doorways, and tall granite chimney-stacks. When Sir Edward Pellew bought the two manors of Christow and Canonteign in 1812, he built a new Canonteign House, in a beautiful timbered park SW. of the old house, and the old house was occupied as a farm. Some of its internal features remain, e.g. a fine early 17th-cent. staircase. The house was garrisoned for the King, and was taken by Fairfax in December 1645 (plate 33).
Sir Edward Pellew (1757-1833), first Viscount Exmouth, was a brilliant naval commander. Among his many exploits was the bombardment of Algiers in 1816, upon the refusal of the Dey to abolish Christian slavery, an action which brought him honours from all over Christendom and a viscountcy at home. He is buried at Christow, where a monument to him may be seen.
Christow church (prob. St. Christina) is a 15th-cent. granite building, except the chancel, which was rebuilt in 1862. The W. tower is one of the finest granite towers in Devon. It bears the date 1630, when it was either rebuilt in its old form or substantially repaired. There are some carved 16th-cent. bench-ends, a 15th-cent. chancel screen too garishly coloured, and some 18th—19th-cent. Pellew monuments. The font is Norman.
There were formerly silver, lead, copper, and manganese mines in the parish. An abandoned lead mine may be seen near Old Canonteign. Pale Farm is of some antiquarian interest, and a farm near the church contains late medieval panelling.' - Devon, by W.G. Hoskins [Amazon]
