This terracotta thing is becoming an obsession I can tell. :-) I knew that this was on the gable end of some houses built in 2003/4 and today I stopped to take a photo whilst on the way back to my office. I think that this is a new piece and I wish I had one on my own house - great! Having pointed the camera skywards I was assailed by the dreaded voice of the local busybody from the adjacent house. "Are you photographing our roof?" I explained what I was photographing but this was clearly unsatisfactory as I was then told that I must ask permission from the householder. When I demurred and stated that I did not have the time for such unnecessary frivolities she advised me that she was taking a note of my car registration. I do hope she enjoys the registration as much as I do. Some people think that they have a right to control what others are doing perfectly legally just because it does not meet with their approval. Hmmm. :-(
