The turf roof goes autumnal

Thursday 15th October 2026, 2.15pm (day 5,530)

Turf roof, 15/10/26

The turf roof atop the extension to the Nutclough Mill is a very familiar part of the view from the house — so much so that it’s surprising to realise it’s younger than this blog. It was only completed in 2014, as attested by this photo, amongst others. Looking at all the posts tagged ‘Nutclough Mill‘ I see I pretty much did the same shot last year, but on a day working at home it was this or a shot of my laptop screen again, and this is more interesting.

House view with blue

Monday 23rd March 2026, 10.15am (day 5,324)

House view with blue, 23/3/26

On 23rd March 2026, nothing happened. At least not to me anyway. Down there in town a blue truck parks itself in that gap we perceive in the buildings and offers something to look at. And so I get through another day.

Taking in some air

Wednesday 9th July 2025, 12.10pm (day 5,067)

Skylight, 9/7/25

You could consider this an abstract. Or, a sign that I didn’t particularly leave the house today and so was needing to point the camera at something that could be seen from within it. Or that I’m spying on the neighbours again. Either way, that’s been nearly four weeks at home, and 18 of the last 26 photos in Hebden. Time to go somewhere else for a bit.

Attics get an airing

Friday 2nd August 2024, 11.15am (day 4,726)

Open skylights, 2/8/24

The sun is still shining. A few attics need airing, skylights need opening. Ours too — this photo was taken by sticking my head out of the roof.

The rooves of Nutclough

Thursday 18th September 2014, 4.20pm (day 1,120)

Nutclough rooves, 18/9/14

Today was not a great deal more active, or well-lit, than yesterday, but now and again there are still new things to be found in the immediate vicinity of the house. These are the rooves of our neighbours, the road curving down the hill towards the town, viewed from our attic room.

The rain it raineth every day

Sunday 29th April 2012, 2.25pm (day 248)

More rain, 29/4/12

This was the view this afternoon through the skylight in my home office, at the top of the house. Enough of this bloody rain already. Really.
