I have just remembered that on the last occasion I actually started a comment and it disappeared half way through. I remembered because that has just happened to me again. I'm not quite sure why it keeps happening but it's not just on your blog. I happens on others and on mine too.<br /><br />I rather like the building in the second and third pictures and I initially thought that I hadn't seen it before but having looked at it again I think I've seen a closer up one probably just after it was built. <br /><br />Anyway I've enjoyed the walk and the update.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-33473377104399313952020-09-06T22:09:01.661+02:002020-09-06T22:09:01.661+02:00I was trying to work out where it was - I hadn'...I was trying to work out where it was - I hadn't noticed the Sweden at the top at first. It reminds me a little of when I visited Kista, Stockholm, for work a few times around 1990. I caught up with a friend who had married a Swedish girl and the apartment they lived in was very like those. I am also fascinated by your account of your visit to Yorkshire. I would have been working in Leeds at the time.

Many of them are much too close to each other in my opinion, and not enough green areas in between. But yes, there have been some efforts made to make them "fit in". (I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that they won't try to fit in any more high rise ones in my own immediate neighbourhood...)

Given the choice, I prefer lower buildings and more space and green areas in between as well...DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533307672147117843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-88930853521772479122020-09-05T12:36:27.840+02:002020-09-05T12:36:27.840+02:00Thanks for joining, Becky!

I like walking through living quarters and look at houses and gardens - not because I want to intrude in other people's privacy, but because I find it intersting to see how others live and to imagine what I would do if that house or that place were mine.<br />The giant pinocchio is a little bit scary, I must admit!Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-24701598955923156782020-09-05T07:32:01.028+02:002020-09-05T07:32:01.028+02:00I've never heard of Boras.
