The house is on the outskirts of Bradford, on a hill, across the road from the Husky Truck Stop. This time I brought my digital camera and took pictures. I started just at the wooden fence surrounding the place. I couldn&#8217;t see an easy way around it. After a few minutes I crawled under the fence in the driveway. I wish I had gone inside the house too, but I was alone so that didn&#8217;t seem like a good idea. Not that anyone was there, there were no recent tracks in the snow other than my own. An abandoned house isn&#8217;t safe and this one has been empty a long time. <\/p>\n<p>The funniest thing that happened was losing my car keys. I had stuck them in my bra cause I had no pockets. At some point they had fallen out and I only noticed when I was back at the car, ready to unlock it and go. <\/p>\n<p>My favourite picture is that one with the broken piece of chair. I love the house though, the look of it and how it sits on the hill. <br><a onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"http:\/\/photos1.blogger.com\/blogger\/7102\/437\/1600\/chair.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;\" src=\"http:\/\/photos1.blogger.com\/blogger\/7102\/437\/320\/chair.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><br>So there&#8217;s my little adventure and my first use of the digital camera. They turned out better than I expected. It was cold and my hands were a bit shaky but none of the photos are blurred or out of focus. I don&#8217;t think they would have turned out so well if I had used my 35mm camera.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<a href=\"https:\/\/thatgrrl.com\/site\/index.php\/2006\/the-house-on-a-hill\/\" rel=\"bookmark\" title=\"Permalink to The House on a Hill\"><p>I pass by this old house each time I drive to Newmarket to visit my family.
