What a beautiful house!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Today, my work to me through Potton. The glorious sunshine really made some of the beautiful old houses look dazzlingly gorgeous. I\u2019m a particular fan of this oh so English combo of red-brick with \u2018classic\u2019 old-school green.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This old shed\/workshop annexe is lovely.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I loved this house so much I stopped to take photographs. I even knocked on the front door and asked the owner, who luckily was in, what colour it was, if he knew? And he did: Dulux Weather-shield Buckingham Green! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Number one, in so many ways!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve been on a bit of a quest for this particular classic \u2018Brit C. 1940s-\u201850s\u2019 green for some time. Now I feel, unlike Bono\/U2, I\u2019ve finally found exactly what I\u2019ve been looking for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Great photo of a great drummer.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The day was Septober 9th, which happens to be the birthdate of the illustrious Mr Elvin Ray Jones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beautiful pond on a farm outside Potton.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Some days later (Sept\u2019 12th), I drove past the garage below. In The Fens somewhere this time, and on a wet, grey and overcast day. The bricks aren\u2019t the glorious reds, exactly. But the metalwork, in this instance, is the right kind of green. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not quite as magical. But near enough.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s amazing the change wrought on appearances by the weather conditions! Although it\u2019s also possible that the green in this last pic is also a shade or two darker anyway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like taking the time, during my various activities, to stop and take note of everyday beauty, such as I perceive it. It feeds the soul, so to speak. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
