So as I walk along our newly paved and streetscaped footpaths and notice old homes being treated with renewed respect I feel pleased but also a little sad that our down at heel little town is fast becoming a model of modern suburbia, something that has never been to my taste. But I have to admit that people like me contributed to the gentrification process when we moved here 18 years ago.
I spoke to a young mum pushing a stroller the other evening. She was thrilled with the smooth new paths. I guess I will appreciate them too sometime in the future when I am driving along in my electric oldies cart.
Cute house! I love the tin roof.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful house! I love it, and you know what, I do appreciate smooth roads even now:)
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week ahead:)
Progress - good and bad - beaut house!
ReplyDeleteIt would be perfect if the improvements didn't take characteristics away, but it seldom happens...
ReplyDeleteOne of the things I would find very hard, I find it hard down here, the the amount of glare that radiates from a large, virginal block of concrete!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a big fan of "progress" when it comes to where I live. I'm more than happy to live on a dirt road with no paths, streetlights or rubbish collection. But that's me. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the house, though.
