Knock, Knock

I love old houses; so, when my sister decided to purchase a Victorian terrace house near Derby, my interest was piqued.

Last week, I took the time to visit her - and she showed me her purchase. The house is in a distressed state as she's renovating; but the quality of the build is shining through.

One of the items which took me straight back to my childhood is the amazing Victorian door knocker - featuring a lion's mask. It is just like the one which was on the back door at our aunt's house. My sister has re-painted it into a crisp black - and it is looking beautiful.
