Goodnight Little Spoon: My Street

Dec 2, 2011

My Street

I really like my street. It is tiny and one-way and neighbours put your bins out for you (still getting used to this) and today we got a Christmas card in the mail from "Kaye at No. 8". Today I took a (short) walk and tried to photograph some bits of it.

+ when I got home.

What do you like about your street?

Great pics, thanks for the tour! Your street looks and sounds awesome!
I love my street because we have a kind neighbour who also brings my bin in if I forget, lets us pick lemons from his tree and gives us tomato plants and other lovely produce,if I stand in my driveway (or lean out my bedroom window) I can see the ocean and because my Nan lives in the street behind, and my great Nan lived in the house a few doors up when I was little :)

Your street is very cute. :) My street has a bunch of old homes from the 30s and 40s so it's often used for filming in LA. My building though is 1 of 2 brick buildings from the 1920s and there are big trees in the front.

Your street sounds lovely! It's cute that someone gave you a Christmas card. I always want to do that but I feel too shy...

I love our end of the street because we live opposite an artists co-operative and they have a really pretty garden which faces our front windows! Our area is all little old cottages like your street too, I think they are so pretty~

Hi! Awkward lurky follower here, and fellow Launcestonian.

I was excited to see you took a picture of one of the 'Mister' tags around town. I was excited when they started popping up about the place, almost each one in a different font. I have this daydream of one day hopping on my bike and zapping about, trying to get a shot of each one.
