Flower Friday @ No 11

This is a weatherboard house from 1950.  Once upon a time the Government addressed the housing shortage by lending money for small, low cost houses of three bedrooms.  A bedroom for parents, one for boys, one for girls.  I spent my first five years in a house like that except it was made of bricks.  They all had a similar roof pitch and square foot print.  I suspect that later on the side bit was added to make the house bigger. 
Happy weekend to all and don't google the song.  I have the chorus stuck in my head now. 

 Our House                                      by Madness   1983


. . . Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our
Our house it has a crowd
There's always something happening
And it's usually quite loud
Our mum she's so house-proud
Nothing ever slows her down
And a mess is not allowed

Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our...

Our house, in the middle of our street . . .
