This 'Ole House!! HWW!

This 'Ole House!!           HWW!
This poor old building has certainly seen better times, but despite the decay it looks like someone has made a real effort with the garden!!

Captured at the Isle of Whithorn. Wigtownshire, Scotland

I have added a song called 'This 'Ole House' by Shakin Stevens

A cross between an old cottage and a garage but the skylight is intriguing,
Nice capture HWW

Many thanks Roger. Well if it belonged to a mechanic it looks as if he turned his hand to gardening instead!!!

Der Zahn der Zeit nagt an dem alten Anbau, Carol.
Vielleicht diente es ursprünglich als Wohnhaus.
Schöne Grüße und einen guten Tag

Ecobird club has replied to sea-herdorf club
Thank you very much Erich. It may have been a house, or as Roger suggested maybe a garage.
The crumbling exterior caught my eye as did the contrasting colourful and well maintained garden!!

Enjoy the rest of your week. Best wishes Carol

Thank you very much Isabel. Yes they have, and as you can see the garden is blooming!! It has been like this for a long time and intrigues me each time we have visited. Perhaps the owners are more into gardening than DIY!!

Thank you very much Herb. It has been in this condition for years and I half expected it to have been pulled down, but it looks no better or worse than on our last visit. The gardens however are blooming!!

Ecobird club has replied to Joe, Son of the Rock club
Thank you very much Joe. I do hope that the building has some restoration work done to it before it gets to the stage where it is beyond repair. For all that I find it quite attractive and charming.

HWW!

Ecobird club has replied to Boarischa Krautmo club
Thank you very much Markus. I wonder how the estate agents would market this. Maybe something like 'A charming and deceptively spacious cottage with sea views through the rooflights and plenty of scope for improvement. Double doors open to patio area and there are delightful, well established gardens at the rear'

HWW!

Ecobird club has replied to LotharW club
Thank you very much Lothar. With clever marketing playing on it's charm and potential and the sea views it might still be of interest to someone who is happy to take on a new project.

What a lovely way to describe it Luz. Thank you vey much.
I am pleased you liked the music. Back when it came out it was a favourite of my son's, and I remeber buying him the cd, but when he opened it the wrong cd was in the case! We were gutted and had to replace it for him.

Hi Carol
I like this picture very much!
It is a very different and exciting composition
I did look on Google.. 54.700655,-4.3638704
It looks like a reasonable house in blue, but this semi derelict construction appears (due to the double doors) to have been some kind of workshop..
Whatever it was, it makes an interesting picture!
Best Wishes, a good weekend, and stay safe!!
Peter

Ecobird club has replied to Peter_Private_Box club
Thank you very much Peter. I am pleased you like it and took the trouble to look it up. You could well be right in that it might have once been a workshop. If it belongs to the blue house I am surprised it has been left like this, especially with the flourishing garden at the rear. However it never appears to get any worse, or any better and seems unchanged no matter how long we go between visits and it always catches my attention!

Have a good week
