Every time I sit down at my computer and am stuck for what to write I know it's no use banging my head against the wall. I just look out of the window and this is what I see.

| Brick Wall |
The house next door used to a farm house and this wall is the one from which I cannot escape - beautiful on this sunny November day.

| Farm House Wall |
If there are not enough bricks and mortar in that for you, you could check out my earlier post
Yarm-viaduct - there's 43 million bricks in that.

| January snow - and the butressed wall |
 |
| Another wall with my 'office' window |
I shown shots of Yarm Town hall before and possibly even this which besides a plaque contains more bricks and mortar.

| South African War Memorial |
Then let's take a look at the oldest brick building of any note still standing in England.

If by now you are tired of bricks and mortar I suppose it's time for me to sign off with one last shot.

Love the collection of buildings, especially the castle. Beautiful!
Hi Bob .. it's obviously about time I went to Herstmonceux Castle near here! The 1786 Sundial .. what a great object .. isn't it superb "Time is more sacred than Gold" .. now back to the South African War Memorial .. perhaps I should add that to my one of my two posts about Emily Hobhouse and the Boer War.
Your brick walls sure are special - love the photos and the various bits of history .. cheers Hilary
The snowy trees are lovely.
What an office view, and the snow shot is lovely. A nice collection - but I see you are ‘plagued’ by bugs again :)
Thanks Nell. I shall have to ask you to be my editor - I've cured the plague for this week. I hope.
Hilary, it was your Emily Hobhouse posts that reminded me I had the Memorial photo.
Hi Bob .. oh good - good interaction via the airwaves - it was certainly 'funny' to see it pop up now! .. cheers Hilary
A really lovely series of shots - that castle is amazing!
I Love How Brickwork Varies Throughout Britain.Red Brick Can Be Really Beautiful.Have you even seen St Helens Town Hall? I Love That Building too.
The bricks are neat and so are the buildings.
Now that's a lot of old bricks! I love how a good wet snow sticks to old brick. That castle is amazing! If I were to make -- and keeps -- a bucket list, visiting old castle in England would be at the top for sure.
loving the winter scenes best!!
