Photos from your neighborhood

[OneEyedDiva]

The buildings toward the center of the photo are all within walking distance from me. Our development is nestled in the center near the cluster of bright yellow lights.

A shot from a walk along the local canal yesterday. We have 22 Locks in under 2 miles of the Leeds & Liverpool canal.

Yes, she's a big Labradoodle. She was supposed to be a "red" or "apricot" one, but she never turned color as a puppy. She's goofy...lol.

this was our biggest doodle.. we lost him aged 13 in 2018.... he really was a big lad.. I took this picture just one week before he died of his last stroke, he was such an amiable, stoical old guy

this was taken the afternoon of the evening he died...

We still have 2 doodles... and a chihuahua

here are the doodles when they were all under 4 years old..all different sizes...


the black one stan has more poodle in him than lab, as you can see..he's a miniature doodle.... and the second eldest he's now tunred 12...

These are gorgeous dogs. We lost a big German Short Haired Pointer years ago from stoke. He was 13 or 14.
Don't you just love big dogs?!

Not showing the village in it's best light... The road has been cleared of snow, but the pavements haven't.
The house on the left is probably the oldest in the village, built around 1760. The one on the right used to be a grocery store, but was converted to a dwelling house and is now being renovated.

Our 11 year old, 6-speed, sun-and-wind-in-your-face appliance out in the yard.

Taken a few years ago, this "happy car" does wonders combating the ageing process. With a little good fortune, I'll still be driving it when I am 90. Just getting in and out of it exercises a good percentage of your creaky joints, helping to keep you spry. The sensory stimulation your brain gets while riding with the top down is not trivial.

Winter picture of the old neighborhood, which is in the next town over.

Moved there in 1978 from Illinois. Downsized and moved out in 2018.
