Alms Houses Penge 2023-07-26-0015 by Keith Hudson, on Flickr

The former Watermen and Lightermen's Alms Houses in Penge London SE20, I believe the residents were shipped off to live by the seaside some time ago, now posh housing.

Front of Erddig.  It is a shame that the ground slopes down so the further you walk back to "get it in frame" the more the camera has to be tilted upward.   Must try it with a TSE lens.

Front of Lyme - at least that's what Lightroom says but I'm not 100% convinced.   Photo from 2010 so can't remember.

Purple rain.  (It was quite sunny here.  Water sprayed on the window and shot with a macro lens through two old purple Quality Street wrappers.)

Purple (sweet) peas.

Could have done for today's daily theme too I suppose.  In fact all the ones on the daily theme could be here today.

We bought this Hebe in a 2 1/2 L container and planted it in the garden, over ten or fifteen years it grew really well with lots of flowers, the insects loved it. Then one year it just died, perhaps it was one of the very cold winters or dry summers I don't know why.
