Almshouses

These "Brewers' Almshouses" in South Mimms, Hertfordshire, were built in 1856. They were originally founded, and built elsewhere, by James Hickson (1607-1689), a London brewer.They are now Grade II listed.

The brickwork glows in the late afternoon sunlight.

Sadly I am not glowing.  Our central heating is still not working, as the part required for the boiler is apparently not carried by any of the engineers in their vans.  We therefore have to wait until tomorrow when the stores open.  Why does this happen on the coldest weekend so far this winter?
