Adding to my credentials as a Colonialist, while unpacking some long-stored boxes I recently came across this picture of a little home my mother occupied while in Madras. I wonder if we should model our current one on it?
And now:
Rev-elation
Sarie’s Tow Truck is greatly feared,
Or so they say,
For, if that truck ever your way steered,
One fateful day,
To kill your revs is what you should do –
And right away –
For it’s the wreck-heaver of revving-you,
To make you pay!
I just love those all-round verandahs. They make a house liveable in a hot climate. How’s the leg?

I like that house. It might cost a wad to replicate, though…….

*regretfully* You think It might be beyond our means? I do fancy it …

Yes, I think MBH would approve of a house just like this. What a lovely style of architecture. Is that a roof garden I see? Hope your condition has improved somewhat with all the medication. Do you rattle yet? I hope to steer clear of Sarie’s dreaded tow truck. 🙂

Roof garden indeed. I think MBH might be put off a bit by the housework.
I think I am filled with more meds than sustenance, and the results are, as yet, unspectacular.

Too slowly!
Quite a handy spare home, that. No wonder they went to balls with Royalty and Rajahs and all that …
