Strelitzia


Part 'Grand Designs' part Bond villain lair, The Stralitzia sits atop a (bloody steep) hill in Lincoln and screams 'Look at me!' And yesterday against, a perfect blue sky backdrop, that's precisely what I did. How the fuck they got planning permission is beyond me - but I'm so glad they did.


When I got home yesterday my friend Kate pinged this over to me for a bit of context (including how it got its name). I took a shedload of pix but have narrowed it down to a modest quartet for today's post.


As a footnote, just minutes earlier as I rounded the corner to take my first photo, there was a Red Arrows flypast overhead but by the time I'd reached for my camera they were already in the next county.

  3. Stunning. And brilliant to see the interior, just as I imagined. Please tell me that Col. Paul Foster once lived there.

    1. It's an amazing house which would befit any self respecting Time Lord.
