Falling apart

For many years I've been fascinated and charmed by this abandoned house above the Sao Tiago Fort and the lovely poncha bar. It made me think "Bleak House". I imagined (and wasn't so wrong about) the family wrangling while the stonework disintegrates.

I've blipped several times on the subject, and so has Picture Poems who shares my fascination.

Two years ago the owner of a new restaurant said that it was sorted. There have been many promises, and legal notices, but nothing.

And now the window frames are going and it is literally falling apart.

This magical house, with the perfect location, keeps drawing me back....
