Ivy Bush is the first house on the left. The middle one of the terrace was derelict for many years.
When the BBC4 "Hinterland" series was made around Aberystwyth, location houses had various things done to them, usually to make them look worse.

It wasn't meant to be taken seriously.

FYI, we have been to Ypres and around, three times (inc. In Flander's Fields museum).
Last year, we went to Utah beach/museum. This year, along the coast behind most of the other Normandy beaches.

One of our sons has done that twice: here he is the second time in 2023 – takes about 88 hours.
After doing that, there was a leisurely ride to the Portugese border.

Historical precedent: to the best of my knowledge, this bridge over the railway near Seaford station in Sussex, has never had a road over it.
Even the small area of car parking is a relatively new thing.

A trifle confusing for a small child, mind.
Less so for son's dogs, who treat anyone who gives them "sausage" as a long-lost relative.

The implication, according to the article, seems to be that the cost of energy would have been that much higher, if more gas generating capacity had been added.
In this photo, instead of the Grange Wind Farm, behind it, Sutton Bridge B gas power station might have been built.

Historically, Turkish soldiers have not exactly been well-behaved in the area.

Weobley, Herefordshire, being made more twee, before filming "Hamnett", a story about Shakespeare's son.
July 2025. Due for release about now.
False fronts hide a not-half-timbered hair salon and a car showroom with petrol pumps (no longer functioning).

True, other things have got in the way.
Altering the stairs, for instance. Which turned out involve more than was forseen.

Heating advice for idiots.
And this heater is plugged into a European socket, not a UK one. Which has, for reasons unknown, a nearby vase of flowers in water ready to knock over onto it.

I'm not sure if developers are still able to play the rules by having 2 sites, which they say is one. The "surrogate" site is where the affordable (sic) housing for proles goes.
Failing that, it's used as a buffer between a busy road and the nicer dwellings. E.g. these at Lydney.

…and he never did it again.
But was it worth the ten-year sentence for manslaughter?

This roof (if it isn't an AI-generated image) is
a) not a roof in the UK, and
b) anyone who laid slates in an untidy way like this, would be off the job when they started on the the second row.

Stones with lyrics of the Beatles' "In my life", Durness, NE Scotland, July 2025.
John Lennon spent some summer school holidays in Durness, staying with his aunt. It is thought that these visits inspired the words of the song.
