Wandering Gypsies

These are REAL Gypsy horses.  The Gypsies' have some type of trust where they can use anybody's pasture.  The horses mysteriously appear and disappear in different places, coming and going, popping up in various pastures.  The Gypsies are still travelling (Eng. spell) people, originally from India.

Most of the homes are double homes like these (like a duplex but nicer than the ones in the U.S.).  Notice the front doors right next to one another and each owner has chosen a different door.  Sometimes the home will be a different color or different roof divided down the middle.  I especially like the windows that usually have a vase of flowers or some single item displayed.  Once in a while a cat is displaying itself on the ledge.  Many people hedge themselves off and you cannot see the homes.  Most at least have a gate, stone or brick wall, or something to hide behind or offer some privacy--especially because many homes are sitting right on the street.  This color of brick is on the majority of homes and I love the look.  It seems solid and the older places still look nice.

Typical Row Houses

This is the street where Elder Blain gets his fish and chips.  These are the standard sized cars parked on the narrow street.  It is basically a one lane road when cars are parked.  This is within a few minutes of walking from our apartment (up the hill a bit).
