This is a super cool Belgian restaurant in London — Belgo. Waiters wear these hot little monk-esque outfits, and there’s a big Eddy Mercx poster above, at the bar.

The hills of Lockerbie.

Tundergarth Mains.

They do it much better. 

But, go to another culture, learn something cultural, right? Like curling! (The windows above are the pub!)

I can’t imagine living in something like this
when it was still intact. The details blow you
away — If I were rich I’d take something
like this (structurally sound one, of course)
and fix it up… sooo cool. and keep dogs, and
make them sleep by the fire! he he!

Unfortunately, many decided the solution
was to take off the roofs. Thus, the end
result for many old estates is ruin.

There’s so much history there. Years ago the government taxed homeowners based on the number of roofs. 

Voila! Even the leaves are sugar. 

Making this stuff is no joke… nor is it easy.
