Cornice

A closer look at Ormeley Lodge highlights the warm colour and simple but effective design of the brickwork.

New shed

The shed looks new but the doors are either old or, more likely, have been allowed to weather badly. Either way is makes for an incongruous picture.

Tucker's Christmas display (2008)

The butchers, R. Tucker, has the most impressive seasonal display on Ham Parade this year.

St Andrew's church

The view of St Andrew's church from Church Road is not particularly inspiring but a closer look gives the brickwork a chance to impose its strength and order.

Trees by Ham House

These trees form an irregular avenue from Ham House towards the river. The path in front of Ham House and the one leading in to it are both tarmacked but I am glad that this one is not, even if that means that it gets a little muddy sometimes.

Small extension

This is the smallest house extension that I have even seen. These works add about 1.5m to the living room downstairs and and en suite bathroom 1.2m wide to one of the bedrooms.

Path in Petersham Lodge Woods

This inviting path through Petersham Lodge Woods is sadly not very long, it joins the tow path just after the slight rise in the middle of the picture, but for a brief moment you can forget all about buildings, cars and other people.

Brown ferns

The ferns in Ham Common Woods are ready for Winter and have, for a while at least, added browns to the confusion of greens.

New House on Church Road

This house must have seemed very new when it was built and named and it still looks strikingly modern compared to its neighbours in Church Road.
