Lovely post, Hugh.
Thanks, Rob.
You’re welcome, Hugh.
We have a chimney but it ain’t pretty. Well this is London. Think Bed knobs and Broom Sticks meets Mary Poppins.

Having lived and worked in London for 27 years, I love the rooftops it has.
I don’t think we have those pots in Belgium, but otherwise the chimneys looks familiar. I miss those brick buildings!
I remember going on a school trip to Ostend and looking over the rooftops of the city from my room at the hotel, Liesbet. It was like I was peering into another world. It’s a memory I’ve always kept.
I love the old architecture and never saw chimney pots before. 😉 x
I don’t know how Father Christmas manages to squeeze himself down those chimney pots, Debby.😉

Lol, I’m thinking he doesn’t – he sends his elves down, lol 🙂 xx
Beautiful composition, Hugh. I love the red flowers in the foreground and the vivid blue sky.
Taken on a perfect late spring day, Molly.
By an excellent photographer.
Thanks, Molly. All taken on an iPhone.
Isn’t that amazing? Do you have an iPhone 10?
I took this photo on an iPhone 6. However, I now have an iPhone XR.
I’m not familiar with the XR. I have an iPhone 8 but my daughter-in-law has an iPhone 10 and it takes amazing photographs. I kind of wish I had sprung for the extra money when I got my 8.
The XR is a less expensive version of the XS, but I love the photography on it. You can do a lot of editing of your shot before taking the photo, although I’ve yet to really look into it.
Love your part of the world, Hugh! Are the chimney pots to keep out birds?
No, quite the reverse as chimney pots can often attract birds to nest on them, Jacquie. As many buildings no longer have open fires, it’s the perfect place to build a nest – high up and out of the way.
Wow, that sky is blue! Rained the whole time we were in the Cotswolds.
The British weather can be very hit or miss.
Beautiful shot, Hugh. I hope the week is going well for you. 🙂
Thanks, Rob, I hope you had a great Easter?
It was good. I spent it working on illustrations for a short story by Teagan Geneviene for Sue Vincent’s blog. Very peaceful. I hope your Easter was a good one, Hugh.
The first part of the story is in my mailbox, Rob. I’m looking forward to reading it over the weekend.
I hope you enjoy it, Hugh. It was fun to work on it. I’m looking forward to checking out your latest journal entries this weekend.
That blue sky looks beautiful.
We had blue skies all the way through Easter. Now they have turned grey again.
Ours were grey the entire weekend 😔
Oh dear. I hope blue skies soon arrive.
Beautiful….and very timely! Richard and I head off to England (Lincolnshire) soon!
Have a great time, Donna. How long will you be in the UK for?
Hi Donna! Are you stopping in the U.K. on your way to Italy? Fun!
So interesting and unique, Hugh. Love the varied roof angles!
Yes, some of the old buildings have great angels and features, Terri. I sometimes wonder how they are still standing.
It’s decades since I spent time in England—but I’ll never forget the chimney pots!
It’s a shame we don’t look up very much at them. There’s so much up there.
A great shot!
Thank you.
Great photo, Hugh. I began to notice chimney pots and roofs after seeing Mary Poppins. Europe has the greatest pots.
Rooftops can be very interesting, John. A completely different world from the one we see from the ground. Mary Poppins had a birds-eye view from up there.
Yes she did. 😄
Interesting I’ve never noticed pots before
I’ve never failed to be fascinated when looking up or down (instead of straight ahead). It’s a different world up there.
Gorgeous photo xx
Thank you, Ritu.
