Windows!
After several months absence our landing windows are now back in place, releaded and sandwiched between two sheets of plain glass. The workmen took two days to fit them, needing to alter the framework to accomodate the slightly thicker units. We are delighted with the result and it is surely going to give us a much warmer house!
The workmen had finished by mid-afternoon and since the weather was dry we took ourselves off for a walk by the sea. Our nearest access point is by walking through the tropical garden.
If we walk in the direction of Poole there is a glimpse of an interesting-looking house, just a partial view to be seen on the clifftop above the beach huts. I see some fascinating period properties when I drive around the area, I would love to be nosey and have the chance to explore them!
There are always some dog walkers on the beach, whatever the weather, not to mention a small boy digging holes or guddling in a pool of water!
The light was already fading as we returned to the car.

Must be lovely to be able to pop out for a quick evening walk by the sea.
ReplyDeleteBeing close to the sea is wonderful, although we do sometimes sit on a bench looking out over the water and feel as though we are in an Alan Bennet play. "What are we doing here?"
DeleteYour new windows are so beautiful! Must be lovely to look out of those each day. I enjoy having a glimpse into your world; living so close to the sea would be a delight!
ReplyDeleteWe are so pleased with the windows. They are on the north side of the house and look straight into dense fir trees, so nothing to see other than the windows themselves!
DeleteYour windows are so lovely and so much warmer. I miss walking by the ocean,
ReplyDeleteIf you have been used to the ocean it must feel strange now to be elsewhere. For us the sea is a novelty and I love it when we come near enough to hear the waves breaking. Living in a built up area is strange for me so that being able to have a far view out to sea feels very important and necessary to me.
DeleteMy thoughts were exactly the same as Tasker's here. Also, how wonderful for children to grow up so close to the sea!
ReplyDeleteLike you, I love looking at houses and often try to imagine what they may be like inside.
We loved it last summer when we could collect our grandson from school and take him straight down to play on the beach. Hoping for more of the same this year!
DeleteThere are some fascinating period houses in Bournemouth. Turrets in Scottish baronial style seem to have been popular!
What beautiful windows on your landing. Walking by the ocean is so lovely - restorative, peaceful, and full of things to observe.
ReplyDeleteWonderful for people watching when we sit on the seafront!
