babyonboard - is that the manor house which is/was a library? I spent many a happy hour there as a kid. And the CItibank tower - it's a landmark you know, I always used to think 'there's where I live' when I saw it. Sad but true

Laurenholly Shock at your post and how awful Sad but am I the only one who read it and found it slightly funny - or am I just sick? Don't mean to sound cruel or insensitive at all it's just that sometimes the terrible can have a slightly funny slant.

I can see our road then a field then the main road to Buckley from the front of our house.
To the back our garden then rolling fields as far as the eye can see < contented sigh >

I do miss Dublin sometimes - but I don't miss the city scenery!!!

laurenholly · 07/04/2006 11:26

Front a row of houses directly opposite
Back lots of greenery in our little garden and then we back onto other houses and their gardens city living here!

essbee · 07/04/2006 12:07

At the front it's other houses but out the back it's of sheep! My children have now practically adopted them and have named then Jack, Lucy, Cloudy, Bernie and Minty!

expatinscotland · 07/04/2006 12:41

a Georgian era 4 story tenement. A private nursery. A Catholic church and its Victorian rectory. A Victorian warehouse being converted into lofts.

KBear · 07/04/2006 12:46

haven't got a window......sob.....I am surrounded by lever arch files here in my cupboard.

ruty · 07/04/2006 12:49

a new block of flats going up where there was once a garden. Sad. A few trees in bud, a patch of grass, a few cars.

meowmix · 07/04/2006 12:49

I can see the office of the deputy prime minister and the hideous work of street art they've chosen to stick next to it and on the other side more office blocks. 5th floor office views..

toadstool · 07/04/2006 17:54

The curtains, drawn because the people in the garden behind ours built a kitchen with a window that I can look into. So (now) I see blazing sunshine, one dozy pigeon staring at our birdtable that fell over 2 weeks ago, the end of our scruffy paved garden, an ugly wall, their new kitchen and, yep, she's there, the female neighbour making yet another cup of tea (they're very proud of their new chrome kettle). Hello, love.

laurenholly · 07/04/2006 20:48

at the front houses at the back hight school and old peoples home

lionhearted · 07/04/2006 21:24

There is a bird's nest with a little nesting bird in it (don't know what kindorange beak)right outside the window under the eaves.

Miaou · 07/04/2006 21:30

5 miles of open water, with snow-capped mountains on either side. Gorgeous Smile

RTKangaMummy · 07/04/2006 21:57

Out of the front ~~~ The beach and the sea Smile

Out of the back ~~~ our back garden Smile

babyonboard · 08/04/2006 14:06

georginarf - no but i can see that from our back window if i crane my neck..lol

i cannot love the citibank tower it's so ugly!..though you are right..on a train/taxi coming back from holidays I am always pleased to see it...mans home is close

it's also got romantic associtions for me as i used to pass it visiting dp when he was at uni in canterbury and it was alwys a familir and pleasing sight on the massive journey from up north.

crazy that we now own a home just off the road my coach to se him always travelled in thos days.lol

NomDePlume · 08/04/2006 14:17

In DS1's room atm.
Straight ahead, beyond my back garden and fence there's a busy-ish road and then a field with a couple of people dog walking.

To the left, my next door neighbours back garden with her DD's climbing frame and swing, another neighbour's hideous, eye-sore caravan (clean and well looked after, just ugly as sin). In the near distance the dual carriageway, behind that the local smithfield type livestock auction place and beyond that, through the still-bald-from-winter hedge I can glimpse snippets of traffic on the M5.

To the right, another neighbour's double garage roof and the corner of their house.

Not very exciting

georginarf · 08/04/2006 16:40

yes Citibank tower is ugly, but there's something quite homely about it - it wasn't Citibank when I was a child though.

love thaat someone else thinks of it as a bit of a landmark!

babyonboard · 10/04/2006 13:30
