Oh no, you've got to learn to be very careful about the area in which you take a pic of your bike!
It doesn't matter how good the bike looks, as most, on here, have now given up riding and they'd rather
check out your paving, brickwork, lawn, potted plants etc, etc, etc.

I was wondering if those are spuds planted between the paving. Not to mention the missing grout - oh too late I just did.

Look at the weeds on that patio.!
Why is the fireplace outdoors.?
Did Stevie Wonder do the brickwork.?
And nobody uses a mop to clean their Blackbird.

1, the weeds are aesthetically pleasing to me
2, the fireplace is a minion
3, Stevie Wonder did do the brickwork as it happens.. on no it was Bunter, you wouldn't want to criticise Bunters work. That's kneecaps in a Tesco bag territory.
4, the photo of the bird is deceptive, I've had the panels off and moping it made an improvement

Interested in the brickwork.
Is one part a later addition?
It's a different bond than the left side.

It is indeed, 20+ year old house and a 1 year old extension for her ma... with dementia unfortunately. The bloke who built the extension said that the house brick courses aren't proper. Too much mortar in the joints apparently and I believe him. Not a straight wall in the house but the extension every wall is plumb.

I like the stone/concrete exterioe window cills…shame whoever did it didn’t finish the job off properly. Dreadful ‘pointing’ but should have been dressed with brick.

can understand why it wasn’t done…took me a couple of days to do all ours properly after equally shoddy installation.

I have a few reservations about the pointing too

Expressing a view about window cills on your part is what Humphrey Appleton would refer to as "courageous" :)
