Grumpy did a magnifique restoration.<br /><br />Some of our best photos are ones I've taken of the kids and friends on same steps over the years.

Most of the old houses have been done up by the next generation.local alienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14586011850451326646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-78429887672502372962019-04-20T06:56:33.735+01:002019-04-20T06:56:33.735+01:00You must probably be a man with vision and courage...You must probably be a man with vision and courage to reach what you have achieved.Yaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15181961536405061470noreply@blogger.com
