29th December 2019 - Strange Places and water Park Races

Thought for the day :"Oops - my Check Liver light just came on"

The two way Milk Door
In order that the milk should not go off this would keep it out of the heat and allow the milk to be taken into the house without having to go outside..  A neat idea now that Milk is being delivered again - I suppose a converted dog door would manage it now ..

The Hidden Chapel
On Easter weekend, a UK couple decided to see where the grate on the floor of their home led. They ever would have expected what they found deep beneath their detached Victorian home that cold day. When they lifted the heavy metal grate, they discovered a narrow shaft that led down into a hidden chapel. In the stone cellar-like chapel they found what looked like a large cross that had since collapsed as well as a pair of stone pews.

Upon investigation, they discovered that the cellar had once stood under an old Tudor house and when the house was torn down during the reign of Queen Victoria, a modest Victorian home had been built on top. While in Victorian times the cellar had been chosen to store food and ice, during the Tudor times this had been a secret catholic meeting place where Catholics could meet and prey far from the eyes of the protestant king.

Full-Sized Monopoly
The person who used to live in this home definitely loved Monopoly. How do we know? Well, the new homeowner decided to remove the carpet, and what he found underneath was all the evidence needed.

The Secret Lair
When the Murphy family inherited an old mansion from a distant relative they were over the moon. The house was in pristine condition and located in a historic part of San Francisco. Built over 100 years ago the house had beautiful wooden floors, 3 floors, and high-quality wooden panelling.

After some investigation, the Murphy family discovered it also had a hidden room on the top floor where their relative had kept all his treasures. The room was hidden by a bookcase and inside the room, the family found artwork, silver, deeds, and bonds. They decided to convert the room into a den and now they have a unique story to share with guests.

In other news - thought I may need a new T Shirt ..

Thought of going out for a walk but there seems to be a race going on ...

Cheers
