Nicely done, Chris, even if the brightness is embellished.  I love the bright chimneys on the right.  Did the neighbors get a vote on the pink paint job?

I’m on the Steering Group for our village’s Neighbourhood Plan, an attempt by the Government 
to give local people a say in how development progresses in different sorts of community.  The roofs of the 
“historic core” of the village are an interesting part of its heritage and the SG asked me to 
provide more photos for the NP.

The NP is delayed by the current crisis, of course, but it means that there is time to 
spend on this sort of work.  And I can take some of these photos without leaving the 
confines of our garden.  There are rules which proscribe this sort of photography 
without permission from the owners of the property, but since this is for the 
community I’ve judged it a reasonable activity.

One of the photos is here:

Our house, a former pub, is the first on the left.  You can just see the “ghost sign” on the gable end 
over the street; it says something like "Royston Fine Ales”.  I suspect that another sign was erased 
somehow on the near wall, replaced with newer Cambridge Yellow bricks, but on the northern side a ghost sign remains, 
“Royston Fine Ales and Bottled Stouts”.

It wasn’t this golden glow when I took the photo, but Luminar 4 provided me 
with the wherewithal to alter reality a smidgeon . . .
