This Old House

 

A few evenings ago Erika, our neighbour came over and asked me would I like to join her for a walk. I accepted eagerly as I had been thinking about going for a walk but never did. On our first walk we came across this very Old House. We tried to come up with a figure as to how old it was, I said about 100 years old, Erika came up with about 75 years.  We stood on the footpath outside this beautiful old house and were both silent for a bit. I said to Erika, I can just see clothes flapping in the wind on the clothes line that was no longer there.  I could see a rocking chair with a old man with a pipe sitting in it whittling away. Children playing in the front yard, all in period costume.The area around the house was very over grown with weeds and native shrubs. A few evenings later I went back with my camera and captured what I had seen.
