大宅建成後由鳥先生哥哥居住,比他更出有名的卻是鳥太太伊利沙伯,是二十世紀初旅遊家,足跡遍佈天下並寫下許多旅遊日記。大宅後來轉讓給太古船塢作員工住所。很難想像他們都住在這兩層高,飽覧維多利亞城的的大宅內。第一次參觀香港的舊貴族房子,感覺像蘇格蘭host parents的房子,樓底高,窗戶卻從地上一直延伸至天花,床邊舖上舒服的厚地毯,窗外永遠古樹婆娑,綠蔭如畫。晚上華燈亮起,彷彿會有馬車把客人載來,到泳池旁開派對喝泡泡。今天天色很完美。在日落前回到銅鑼灣,看見白爪魚時他在專心選書,然後經過擠擁人群,最後沒有買冰酒、也沒買雪糕,卻看見日落,躺在地上看了點書,你大概已經很累了,我卻沒有專心看書。天空剩下一片紫藍,而白色鬱金香在夕陽中依然帶着新鮮獨特的美,這裏沒有從荃灣至鯉魚門的美景,但有使時光停下的寧靜。

oh, that little postbox isn't antique, as i know it was bought and installed around the early 90's or late 80's. it's one of those antique style decoration that you could find in garden centre...
I suspect that as well. It looks pretty new, but still it's beautiful. How did you know that?
coz i used to know one of its ex-owners. :)
Dr. Joseph? He's very nice indeed : )
