Raggle Taggle
I had to go back after all the interesting comments from yesterday and here is the promised peek inside - I couldn't wait until next week. The bed platform is still intact and there are some very attractive painted decorations. I liked the bright green chair with its brambly tendrils. A little bit more information. It originally belonged to TJ who bought it from someone on the Beara peninsula and she in turn gave it to GinnyH who's planning to restore it when she and C get a spare moment! TJ reckons it originally came from Dorset and in her youth she and her partner had a very similar vehicle, plus two big horses. She showed me some wonderful photos - I hope she might share a bit more herself one day.
You can see a few more pix here , including the rear view which is delightful - complete with bay window and box for chickens.
Thank you so much for the great response to yesterday's Derelict Challenge - over 80 entries and some really fantastic images. Here are my five faves in no particular order. As usual Himself and I have not consulted only to say that it was going to be a tough job this week, not wrong there! (And we had totally different opinions this week!)
When in Roma by sylviacebula; a once very tasteful Victorian villa, livened up somewhat and then abandoned, amazing colours
Derelict by clarebeme; this would stop you in your tracks, and I liked the ghostly car too
End of the Road , by Missycat; something unexpectedly beautiful and delicate about this old structure
Derelict Thursday by Tiebreaker, a wonderful rusty heap of a Medusalike chains
Racing Green Mini; by Leejohnaire, not your usual view of the Cotswolds ... or a mini
And a special mention of tlde's entry for food for thought. Discuss. Answers on a postcard.
