Omg I love it...I need to come visit one day

 

[Clair De Lune]

I didn't walk far for these heh...my new street basically. My view from my room -

 

[tufty79]

Omg that is amazing! Happy new home xxx

I am tempted to find where you live and ask the council to nominate me to yours. I turned down a bungalow in Morley the other week because not only is it in Leeds, it's also in Morley and nobody needs that shit. I've got super good council housing priority status if that helps?
Don't tell me where this beautiful seasidey place is, please.
I don't think I could impose myself on you as a local connection with good conscience

Haha tbf I've been incredibly lucky to get this place. I've always loved this road for the incredible views. The housing officer who showed me round said nothing has come up in this street for years as most if it is private let's or people have bought them. So I'm v lucky indeed

Cool, sunny, quiet. You people wouldn't like it here.

Looks like there might be some treasures in those woods TBH

I'm not nominating you as a local connection because I have some unhappy connections with there.... Also, not enough seaside. You're a lucky bunny though! I might try a woods scamper this week - I've never been to my nearest one.

Wyre Forest. -4c. Utterly glorious....

 

[kebabking]

A dreary, God-forsaken place. You wouldn't like it.

Been a while since i posted a pic.

 

[hash tag]

Very jealous; stuck here working

 

[tufty79]

I tripped over the raised herb bed

and grazed my knee

 

[tufty79]

BUT I LEFT THE HOUSE AS SOON AS I THOUGHT ABOUT LEAVING THE HOUSE, WITH ZERO HESITATION, PANIC, DREAD OR ANXIETY OR RUMINATING UP A REPEAT OR FUTURE POTENTIAL OR ACTUAL THREAT OR LIFE CHANGING EMOTIONAL DISASTER AND IT WAS EASY AS PIE.

That one's needed to come about since 2013.

I had a lovely scamper, well worth remixing and putting on repeat later.

Saw a couple of elephants in north London



at least they're green rather than pink

Turns out they are quite a thing and have had a chequered life. ‘Napalming elephants isn’t the answer’: Finsbury Park’s famous topiary elephants could be destroyed due to people taking drugs behind them

There are now only 2 of the original 4 left.

Since that article in 2019 a couple seem to have succumbed to the honey rot mentioned, and I heard that a car crashed into the hedge a while ago - we noticed today that a section of the wall had been repaired or rebuilt recently.

 

[hash tag]

Yep, I saw earlier stories of a car crash

-4c. Gorgeous.

[Clair De Lune]

On yesterday's walk to the beach we encountered these lovely horses

slight throwback - New Years Eve...

 

[tufty79]

Getting ready to go for walkies, clocked this out the window.

There's THREE foxes in our laurel bush!!!!

I'm going to say hi and leave them some cat food. Our garden has always been a sanctuary for the local wildlife, as well as the animals out there in the neighbourgood

UrbaneFox - are you in my neck of the woods at the minute?

 

[tufty79]

That's reminded me - I may have some stuff to clear up out there, does anyone know anywhere that could use two massive barbeques like the one in front of the laurel bush for good purposes?
If it's left to me, I'll just turn them into planters or share them with my lovely remaining neighbours in summer...

Outdoor Street kitchens etc, maybe?

I took my phone and photos til the already low battery went flat



More to come - I got well overexcited
