I took the dogs out in Clive Vale early this morning and saw something terrible. There is a lovely little detached Georgian villa in the Italianate style about 200 yards from my house - nice front garden, well tended with shrubs and trees, and a large enclosed garden at the back that is almost a copse. Recently sold for about 400k, I could have forgiven the new owners for hacking down the front trees, and even the *cough, splutter* water feature thy have added ( it's fucking awful ) - but they have committed a more terrible crime - they have taken off the original front door and added a brand new, modern number with fake stained glass panels. It's in a beechwood style and looks quite expensive - and it's fucking vile - totally wrong in every possible way. I may have to write hate mail.
I don't want you to think I'm a snob (well, I am ) - but some crimes are beyond the pale - it's vandalism. I loved that house and wanted to live there - now I can't bear to walk past.
My head cold is still floating around behind my eyes, not a good sign. Commercial work today - need to concentrate. Looks like being very hot and humid - i quite fancy going back to bed.
