Fanks vury mutchly! NO.  I'm supposed to be 'painting'!! Now let me think......... High on a windswept hill, at the top of the street in a little villettage, I stand alone. My closest companion has seen the demise of all my former occupants with the exception of one. Where am I? |

Shrubby? Is "villettage" a real word...  it seems not... sooo... we have to decide whether you meant "village" or "cottage" or something else...  |

Ok. It is a village. In a high and windy location. It's claim to fame is now embodied in a house overlooking a certain other building which sees us 'in and out' so to speak. In the house are many artefacts relating to a previous family, all of whom were renowned in their time for a number of different qualities. They are one of England's most famous families. If I say anymore I shall have to tell you all. |
