Bleak House?

No, its a castle, ruined. Not far away from here. The picture sums up the weather at the moment. Cold and windy. We managed to put off the hotel inspector till after Christmas but even so are now scrutinising all public areas and guest accomodation, last years report in hand and the other hand tearing hair out. Not quite as bad as the castle, but Greenbrae appears to be fraying round the edges.
