A Changing Vista A La Towers

The view from The Towers is changing, but only everso slightly ………

The old Evesham sanitorium behind the marina was demolished a little while ago and in its place a small estate of 76 prefabricated, modular homes looms.

We can just about see the top of some of the said houses, but once the leaves reappear on the trees I doubt very much if we’ll see anything, other than a few lights shining through at night.

…… so it’s not that dramatic a development from here …….

However, on the other side of the river, it’s a very different scene especially from the perimeter of Iris and Bertie’s school, which has had Nigel enthralled for quite a few months now, with huge chunks of house being transported to the site on wide beam lorries and then lifted up gracefully, according to Nigel, and then lowered into place by a huge telescopic crane, a thing of very great beauty and wonder to both Bertie and himself.

Nigel has promised that when the showhomes are open to view, he’ll take Iris and Bertie “round for a gander” as an after school treat, if they are “very good”.  I also suspect that Darrell might invite himself along too as part of a fact finding mission, in his quest to keep abreast of all the latest interior design trends. What are they like? To be honest, I call it being plain nosey ……. so I think, when the time comes I’ll just stay at home and wallow in the peace and quiet while the opportunity is there! What am I like?????

Prefabricated. This reminded me of what we would sing, as children.

Never heard that little ditty Mr D!

It's all going on boyz down where you are - never a dull moment! Think it would be nice to have a little look around the showhomes. Young Nige will come home full of ideas! JantheFan x
