'at about sums it up, P!
Yest'day bidding painter goodbye for the day, I said: "Well, it's still wet
out there." He said, "Summer." [Man of few words but much excellent work]
He lives in nearby Sileby in a 200 year old house built on the same spot and
with the timbers of a Tudor building that had burned down or been pulled
down. A native Brummie, he remembers the WWII bombs destroying his family's
in-town flat, after which they moved to the outskirts. As a young adult
some 40 years ago, he came to Sileby. So I guess he knows summer weather
pretty well here in the east midlands.
If David's reading this: a written rumour has it that King Henry VII spent
the night after the Battle of Bosworth at an inn in Loughborough now housing
Charles Lowe's Antiques and Furniture Shop. It's across from All Saints
Church [highest, oldest central location in L'Bro's town centre] surrounded
with many Tudor timber buildings re-fronted-in-stucco-and-brick.
I'll tour these places with a camera and sketch pad, photographing between
raindrops. <g>
Best,
Judy
