The steps down the side of our house leading to the back garden and fruit and veg area. Taken at the end of May but already the lush greens of Spring have all but disappeared under the relentless sun!
The two houses are more or less identical, built by the same builder who lived in the house to the right until he died a while ago and both properties were put up for sale at an amazing discount, hence my sister was able to buy the one on the left using a large redundancy payment as a deposit. It was all down to lucky timing!

Andy Rodker club has replied to Herb Riddle club
There's been a bit of a breeze these past few days which has made the weather tolerable, Herb! But as soon as that wind disappears, then it will be as if the oven doors have shut behind you, not to be re-opened until September!

That's a fine view Andy..............and a nicely composed image. I could do with a little relentless sun at the moment. Today has been cloudy and tomorrow and Sunday it's forecast to be mostly rainy..!!

Enjoy the rest of your day and have a lovely weekend.
22 months ago.
Andy Rodker club has replied to Keith Burton club
We are supposed to get a rainy spell in the next few days too, Keith.
I hope so, the country needs it. If not, we're headed for another serious drought!
And yes, it's a fine view but it's amazing how many days you can't see the mountains, especially in summer. Often the smog from Madrid carries this far or we get another calima (Saharan dust storm) and we've had far too many of those in the past year!
22 months ago.
Keith Burton club has replied to Andy Rodker club
We had some heavy rain last night..........and more forecast over the next couple of days, but I agree.........not nearly enough. Whatever we get, we'll moan about it, that's a given :-)))

Wow how lucky that you and your sister live next door to each other. This is a magnificent view from your home. To see that amount of country from your own back door with those amazing mountains in the background. Super.
22 months ago.
Andy Rodker club has replied to Jenny McIntyre club
Not sure how I gave that impression, Jenny!!!
I live in the same house as my sister (the one on the left).
The neighbouring property is owned by a family who use it mainly as their weekend and holiday home.
What I said was that both properties were built by the same builder and he lived in the other one. My sister only bought the one! She's not money bags!
I've re-read my notes to see if I should change anything to make it clearer, but I don't think I can!
But yes, it's a great view and I'm very lucky!
Many thanks!

Andy, I love this shot !! Like others, its an awesome view.! and yes how lucky you are to live in such a pretty place. a shot well taken...a nice POV to explain the two homes.
Enjoy the weekend,,, Best wishes, Sarah

Andy Rodker club has replied to Sarah O' club
Thank you, Sarah!
I can get a bit isolated here if I don't check with the news now and again! For instance, I had no idea that Queen Elizabeth II's platinum jubilee had come and gone! I thought it was going to be held in High Summer (July or August)!
Then I saw a tiny snippet on theTV news last night about it.
Now I know why I got no response from the state pension and incapacity benefit authorities in the UK on Thursday; it was part of a two day holiday and I had no idea!
Have a good weekend yourself.
Best wishes,
Andy

Hi Andy
A wonderful and interesting picture, which I like very much!
Very nice pair of houses, with a great view.
Just reading what you said to Sarah O above, did you really expect a same day response from any UK government department? More likely a two week wait, then a letter saying "We'll respond in the next 6 months!"
Best Wishes, (slightly late) HFF, a nice weekend, and stay safe!!
Peter

Andy Rodker club has replied to Peter_Private_Box club
Amazingly, Peter I spoke to a helpful chap who said I should get a response by the 2nd June!!! How he could be that specific when he said this back in April beats me!!! Nonetheless I thought it worth chasing on that day, only to find what everybody else but me knew!! I'll chase again next week perhaps. Give them time to recover from the festivities! I can be reasonable when I want to be! :o)
Best wishes,
Andy
