Awesome Amherst continued...

I was having trouble with Blogger over the  weekend, getting my photos to load, hence the post being delayed until Sunday. (I've now figured out the problem, I think - finally) As it was, I had to cut it short on the photos, so today here are a few more. I just had to share some of Don's amazing birdhouses with you - I do hope you went to his Facebook album to meet The Corkers - they are worth getting to know!! Edit: Be sure to visit my friend Gail's blog here to see her birdhouse pics.

 Amherst is such a nice little town. As I get older (oh no) I find I'm more interested in things like local history and architecture. I couldn't resist a few pics of some of the Victorian homes. I know older homes can be a lot of work to update, and costly to heat, but I would just love to live in a sweet little house like this first one. Isn't it darling??

Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam, be it ever so humble there's no place like home.
