A timid sun peeps through the trees
Bird feathers ruffle in the breeze
A work van slows as it goes past
The terraced house is sold – at last!
The truck pulls up and unloads boards
Two workmen make their way towards
This bijou home in sorry state
But the facelift will be great!
With a friend, I’d peeped inside
The staircase made for creaky ride
With age-old beams and cracks in plaster
It needed too much looking after…
But its location is a dream
So its potential has been seen!
Just a stone’s throw from the wood:
Foxes, horses, Robin Hood!
It’s quite bucolic down our way
Where neighbours chat and canines play
A nearby field boasts bees and sheep
But sometimes - planes disturb our sleep!
