More ‘Rue Jolie’ houses

Oh really @Abecasis it seems to be loading fine for me. I occasionally find that with a puzzle but when I try again it works 🥺

Why I cannot play? The picture desapears before starting to play

@albertwinestein
I appreciate the interesting information :)
Now I know . .

Oh thanks Nev, firstly for the chuckle and secondly for the information for Tea I had no idea and wasn’t sure what to look up to find it. Good job mate 👍🏼

Jill, that thingo on the roof is a flood gauge. When the water reaches it you know you're in real trouble!! :-)))

No, a finial or hip-knob is an element marking the top or end of some object, often formed to be a decorative feature.
In architecture, it is a small decorative device, employed to emphasize the apex of a dome, spire, tower, roof, or gable or any of various distinctive ornaments at the top, end, or corner of a building or structure. ♥♥♥

@Teagardener Just a decoration. ♥♥♥
