And, yes, I thought you were standing on a sloping hill, where you took the first picture ;) LOL!!<br />I do love old windmills! Thankfully we have plenty of them in The Netherlands and lots of them are in good condition, or (since about 30 years) people saw that they had to restore this legacy from earlier times :D! <br />It is such a pity that the phone booth and the mailbox are overgrown with weeds, they are so wonderful to see and very charistical for your country. Here we don't have them anymore since many years!! Even at that time, not everyone possessed a cellphone, so it was not a good thing that they disappeared at that time.... <br />Have a nice week!

Whilst progress is inevitable and, to some extent, beneficial, I'm not sure it is all for the best. Years ago, it would have been a matter of pride to be a skilled type setter. Now, it must be hard to be proud of your work if a computer does everything for you. Not to mention the fact that, in many cases, those Royal Mail splashes of red that were so cheerful a part of our environment have either disappeared or left to become a faded, dull pink.<br />No wonder so many of your little people go off to homes or gardens set in previous decades! I bet they are happy to do so,lol.jenannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00321001863688006661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8242414933693185663.post-59859365052258293912014-07-15T23:41:24.389+01:002014-07-15T23:41:24.389+01:00I have a few of those myself.
