Weird English rules

This morning it was swimming day for the girls. We set off early, the weather was beautiful and driving on the motorway with open windows was a delight.

Close to the pool there is a road, called . . .  don't remember what, but below the street's name it is written: " unadopted private road ". One day I asked Dennis what that meant and he said it means this road doesn't belong to anybody as it wasn't claimed by anybody so for example nobody is responsible for repairing it.

We drove by this street this morning so it reminded me of the story and honestly since that day Dennis explained, I am still laughing because I still can't understand why on earth you need to adopt roads in this country , lol.

I used the pool for today's word so let's go there directly.



Project 365+1 - Day 206 : 1,2,3

As Jen said in her text this morning, it looks like since a couple of days, there is a kind of a pattern in the word of the day, lol.

So this is my 1,2,3, starring: The girls.

It is impossible to take a picture from outside when the door gets open as they rush in like nuts, so I waited inside but it wasn't fantastic either and by the time I pressed the camera button, Bubbles looked like this kind of whitish ghost you see entering the pool. Rhea is a bit clearer. Anyway, they had the time of their life, as always.


Take care everybody, xxx

Brilliant photos, I quite like her being a bit of a blur :) xxx
I don't really understand how a road can end up unadopted either, surely the council has to take it?!!!! xxxx

Lovely pics of swimming doggies.

Lovely pictures Anne. You can see they really enjoy swimming.

An unadopted road is actually owned by the houses the road goes to and they have to repair it not "adopted" by the council.
I also think it is a very funny way to name a road and smile when I see one
