I saw a number of them, and the 'before' look of many of them was exactly as you describe. :) What a gorgeous glimpse into other peoples' lives and homes. I especially loved your summing up of the village as 'a place with memories of better days and a doubtful future.' How true of many of those villages.<br /><br />Jane xJane Richardsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07633011977001159724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5350339348313810194.post-58756999866329422792009-09-15T10:03:13.143+01:002009-09-15T10:03:13.143+01:00Thanks, Barry, for a fascinating peep into another...Thanks, Barry, for a fascinating peep into another writer's house!
