Ivy on a house wall can make the home look like a quaint old cottage or a house of horrors, still debating which. Most definitely hiding insects very close to home in ivy too...
I like you selfie, best selfie I have seen so far this year, motivational, inspirational and intriguing LOL....
I can see you had a lot of fun in isolation enjoying ice photography as well, have an amazing Sunday Johann.
!tip !BEER
I'd take the "quaint old cottage" if you asked me, because otherwise I would have grown up in a horror house - my parent's house is still partly ivy overgrown on one side 😉 lol
I tried to make the selfie alone, but I couldn't see what I was doing, so I had to ask my wife to see if everything looks ok and press the shutter button - thanks that you like it 😁
I think the measures haven't been that bad, because I had most places completely for me alone ;) The only bad thing was that I couldn't go anywhere I wanted.
Thanks for the kind comment and for the tip, Joan, I wish you a nice rest of Sunday and a great week ahead 🙂
Cheers and !BEER

Ivy growing up a house in cold regions does not appear to present problems, looks very attractive, not so much in hotter climate.
Wishing you a wonderful new week enjoying to the full!
That is certainly right, of course, and I think our houses are built a bit different too (my parent's house has 1 meter thick stone walls).
I wish you also a great week Joan 🙂

Old stone buildings are always attractive, thickness of wall keeps warmth in during winter, cooler in summer months.
Usually stones sourced locally adding history to the home 😄
Well, our house stands at a steep forest and does not get much sunlight - in Summer it's cool inside, that's right, but it's also cool in Winter 😉 The house is quite old, but unfortunately there's no paperwork that tells us something about the age or the owners before my family moved in over hundred years ago.
Have a great day Joan 🙂

Detail lost in history is so frustrating, oh dear if the house in a forest that must be extremely cold in winter. Old stone fireplace must be put to good use still, it sounds like an exceptional place to live.
I should better have written "at the edge of a steep forest", because the forest begins right behind the house ;)
So, it's not that bad in winter, but heating the whole big house needed quite some firewood. Luckily my parents installed an oil central heating last year, because carrying so much firewood to the house each day was getting too hardin their age.
It would be nice to know more about the house, but since we are not related to the former owners it doesn't matter that much. My father's great grandmother moved here from another valley because she was pregnant from an "unknown" man ... ;)
Cheers and !BEER

o!
That sounds weird, I know, but it's an old village with all old houses. Unfortunately they have modernized the houses during the years, so that many things like vaults or archs are not existant anymore in the houses.

so true! I never was able to have both these pleasures at once, tho. @joanstewart, right now we have a small sprouts of hops trying to build something far less massive on our wooden wall :)
