Ham House gate topper

The gate at the back of Ham House is appropriately grand and the gate topper is the grandest part.

All the other drivers thought it was ok to obey the law and park on the road.

Behind the car is a dropped kerb that I was hoping to use.

Two-tone

Fox House on Upper Ham Road has been caught mid-transformation with grey gradually replacing cream. 

Goat, cow, sheep

I have featured items in this garden before but not this charming collection of farmyard animals.

Interior walls

The rebuild in Sandy Lane has taken shape quickly thanks to the wood and board construction of the interior walls.

Back Lane Community Kitchen Garden

The Community Kitchen Garden in Back Lane looks delightful despite the very dry summer we had. Someone has been very busy and I am grateful for their efforts.

Emergency Throwbag

With the increased swimming in the area, due to the hot weather and it becoming a designated swimming spot, it makes sense for there to be an Emergency Throwbag ready in case any swimmers get into trouble.

Bland

I am not sure what this house in Sudbrook Gardens looked like before its refurbishment, as only a small part of it was visible though the arched entrance, but I am sure that it is bland now with nothing to break up the painted walls and nothing interesting in the placement or appearance of the windows.

There is a hint that a porch may be added and this could improve things significantly, as it has with a few other local houses such as the former Ham Institute in New Road.
