Walking down Mount Misery in Valley Forge Park this morning. Looking down between the trees the rising sun glinted off the water in the creek below as it flowed to and beneath the old covered bridge.The hues of the colours on display were magnificent, greens, golds, yellow, oranges, reds, greys and browns and let's not forget the azure blue sky.Truly a moment to connect with nature and realize the beauty that is all around us.Have a great day, and get out into nature, you will be better for it. 11/06/2019

Last night we visited Hakata Ramen and Sushi in the Gateway Shopping Plaza in Tredyffrin Easttown. Here is what we thought.This is a new restaurant, locally owned and the first Ramen restaurant in Tredyffrin Easttown. It is a BYOB, with pretty modern decor although there were some interesting design choices which jarred with the overall design. For example some old window frames with fake flowers which did not seem to agree with the mural on the wall by the open kitchen. Tables and chairs were not great quality, and one booth had you looking at the back of another bench. How was the food? The menu was typical, as expected, incuding different starters, sushi, sashimi and rice bowl, poke bowls and ramen with additional add ons. We had one sushi roll as a starter to share, and then had a r... 01/18/2019

Five days - how long it took for us to get this wonderful property in Tredyffrin Easttown in the Woodgate development in Paoli under agreement.

Last week we began marketing a new Tredyffrin Easttown listing. Yesterday we presented our seller with 11 offers.What did we do to generate 11 offers?Firstly we realized the home required work and was going to be sold "As is" with the seller unable to do any repairs. The home was not going to be staged and had been vacant for a while but we felt that honesty was the best policy.I took photos, and filmed a walk through video, highlighting the salient points. Our description let everyone know the home required work but underneath had good bones.We discussed who the likely buyer would be with the seller and talked about how we could reach that buyer and what we were going to do. We believed the most likely buyer would be a builder or contractor who would walk through the house, make a cash... 07/27/2017

Have you ever realized for years you have missed out on something right under your nose?I have driven past this space so many times, and this week decided to stop and see what was here. The George Lorimer Preserve is 87.8 acres and is a combination of meadows, woods, Valley Creek, birds, ponds, wildflowers and a small trail system all open to the public for free to walk and enjoy.It doesn't take long to walk, but if you have some dogs, as long as you keep them on leash it is a wonderful place to take them for a walk. Lots of it is in the shade and I felt like I was back in England walking public footpaths across the countryside again.The walking is fairly easy and today I only came across one other person using the trails with a couple of dogs.Set on a semi rural road.

What I love about our area is the glimpses of history around us. Driving out via Valley Forge Park to Phoenixville along Route 252 North a little before you get to Route 23 you see the bridge below. Recently repaired after a truck clipped the side and demolished a portion of it it is a glimpse of days gone by. There is parking close by and a lovely trail along the river or creek bank under the shade of trees. It is popular with those who want an easy flat walk and those who will challenge the hill it sits at the bottom of for a more adventurous hike as well.There was a foundry situated along this side of the creek allowing the Americans to make bullets and cannon balls should the English attack the camp at Valley Forge. The two hills this sits between are called Mount Misery and Mount J... 07/09/2017
