RE: Old Gordon Houses on Christmas Eve walk : December 24 2023

Houses do look similar to some found in older areas still in South Africa, always enjoy a nice verandah to sit out on enjoying a garden.
Architecture and design has a romantic appeal, constructed with minimal maintenance on the outside being brick.
Hope your Christmas turned out to be everything you hoped and more!

They remind me of old Joburg suburbs. My brother lived in a few spots like that in Durbs. Observatory in Cape Town is a bit the same but with smaller grounds. Think Plumstead or Kenilworth near the railway line. Same same - railway line is within one km
Most here were close to railway being the transport of the day, the larger more elegant in suburbs where folks afforded cars.
Trust you and family had a good Christmas and Boxing day.
Was a different time with my wife’s family. Hoping to catch up with some of mine later this week.
Not my favourite time of year
Everyone wants to see each other once a year and don't bother all year round! Yup not always the best time here either.
