Well-loved garden
Once built as council houses for agricultural workers, these have been sold off and become rather more individual. The people who live here obviously love their home and garden very much, both are in immaculate condition.

Flail-cut hedge
This hedge appears always to have been cut back rather than laid, giving a bushy structure. For at least 30 years it seems to have been flail cut, producing this open, boxy, outline.

New Houses
The van belongs to the chap who has built this house, and 3 others, in Minting.
When I commented on the modern trend of building without overhanging eaves or soffits to the roof, he told me this was called a "Lincolnshire vernacular roof".
