Someone mentioned houses when I posted my pics last
night....Houses here are so different to most American houses I have seen. To start with the timber houses you build would last about 10 years here....Wood outside does not last. Our houses are all built from brick, concrete block or stone or even a combination of all three. Building controls here are very
strict.....(your wiring scares the sh...sh....sugar out of me!)
There are three houses in this pic that I posted last night The
one on the left and the huge centre one were built in the 70s
when steep angular roofs were in fashion. The house on the left is a 4 bedroom house , the centre one belongs to a family who own a large home interiors shop, it has 8 bedrooms and two occupants! and you can just see the roof of a 3 bedroom
bungalow built last year. It is difficult to take a pic over here
without a house in it somewhere!
The 2nd pic is of a local farm house built by the Duke of Manchester for one of his farm managers in the year 1688 and still in good condition. it has 4 main bedrooms and the 'crows nest ' makes 5. The owners's youngest daughter used to sleep in the 'crows nest' ( Don't ask how I know!)
This is the entrance to a new house built about 12 years ago
And you can just about see the house from my tractor seat in this pic. Again it has 4 bedrooms and a large guest suite
This house is just next door and not quite finished yet, It was built this year. You can only see about half of it here, there is a large extension out the back...
It belongs to a couple in their late 20s with one young child!
The next house was built around 1620, my great-aunt owned it, it is now rented out.
This old gate is behind this last house it was the main entrance to the old farmyard back in horse and cart days!
On my way home I stopped the tractor to get this pic of one of the Duke of Manchester's castle entrances, now the local golf club use it!
This is the main entrance to the castle...and our town's war memorial
Our houses are not all large but they are all solid built....I think from Larry the corner guy's photos NJ houses seem to be constructed more solid than most Mid-west houses I have seen...Still they are all someones home and there is no place like it!

Today's Featured Article - A Cautionary Tale - by Ian Minshull. In the early 1950s my father bought an Allis Chalmers B and I used it for all the row crop work with the mangolds and potatoes, rolling and the haymaking on our farm. The farm and the Allis were sold and I have spent a lifetime working on farms throughout the country. I promised myself that one day I would own an Allis. That time event
