I retire from the workforce this week and to celebrate have decided to retire my current blogs and start afresh with a single consolidated blog - My Bright Field - to record the delights of my new life adventure. If you are interested follow me over there. I will still be Sweet Wayfaring and collecting Royal Hotels. The delights I discover along the way will appear together with my gardens and towns where I live.
"To muse, to creep, to halt at will, to gaze ... such sweet wayfaring"
William Wordsworth
So someone has invested time and money and love. What a good restoration/rebuild. I like the look of the house bottom left of the collage.
ReplyDeleteSofala is a lovely little joint. My friend Shirley and I had lunch up on top of the rise next to the cemetery of the Anglican Church.
oh I LOVED Sofala.
ReplyDeleteEspecially the sweeping road that goes up the hill and you look back on the little town.
To the photographer's eye: doesn't the not restored building make a better subject? ;-)
ReplyDeleteSofala is a funny word to my ear - "small sofa" ... on the other hand it sounds Bulgarian (okay, I am thinking of Sofia I guess).
Charmy indeed! Glad someone recovered that falling house.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you Martina the bottom shot is much more photographic but I don't think it could have lasted much longer in it's previous state. I can't find anything on the origin of the name.
ReplyDeleteJulie and Letty, it is a lovely place. I ddidn't go up the hill, I am always entranced by the buildings in the main street.
