Now which one can I have?

Budgies are safe behind netting

The bird has been hanging around for a couple of days.

Former White Lion Pub Site

The digger is where the entrance to the estate is going to be. I seem to remember a mini roundabout on the main road. This will slow down traffic for the junior school.

Also you get free noise from the bypass.
Sounds like a race track come the weekend.

From outside the Spa. Quality of phone camera something of an issue. It's two houses on The Forge development with a car at the bottom.

Google Streets does Penyffordd

Some weeks Google said they were releasing Google Streets on Google Maps.
If you go to here http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&tab=wl
and drag the orange man logo in the left hand corner on to the map it will show how Google recorded Penyffordd.
You may have to put a postcode to get Penyffordd to come up. My Google set up takes me straight to Penyffordd.

For instance where we live my ivy is still up, No4 still have their old car and George and Ken across the road are out.

If you are house hunting this tool is very handy for seeing the neighbourhood. Street Maps has two parts a large window and a smaller window. By holding your mouse button and turning the mouse you get a 360 degree view.

You can drag the orange man up any street that is lined with blue. These are the streets that the Google vehicle has scanned. Some say it's a thieves tool. It does give you a good idea of an area you are thinking of living in without having to rely on the flannel dished out by estate agents.

Anyway here's my favourite councillor's house. (top picture below)  I had a camera pointing at my house a few months ago but it wasn't Google's it was North Wales Police. Our CBM Howie Williams had it put up by FCC without anyone knowing about it , it was that covert.
Even FCC who put it up will not admit they put it up or for what purpose.

Got took down dead quickly when I mentioned it on here. They said it was broke. Never got put back up again and Flintshire County Council have no record of who put it up or who took it down. A little shifty I think.

You can see the shadow of the google camera at the bottom of the picture.

 

 

The camera looking at my house. All the anti social behaviour was happening a quarter of a mile away.

I used to go in The White Lion in my 20's when I did not live in Penyffordd. It was like having a pint in your house. Three old ladies ran it. Nigel the Clerk to the Community Council is related.
They had pickled eggs in a jar.
