Boring house names

We passed a Hazel Dene today, does it get anymore yawny than that? If your house is called Hazel Dean or worse come on confess up.
There is a rather nice house in Preston whose owners have erected a tacky wrought iron sign saying "Costaplenty"

I lived on Hill Street once and the lower half of the street was so steep it had steps to get to the top half. The chap in the house near the steps named his house 'The North Face of the Eiger.' Very appropriate I thought!

Well Margot, I did appreciate the humour! Until I had to struggle up the steps after a particularly beery session that is!.

Have you ever been on what I call the high st in Lincoln? A few times I have walked down and taken the mini bus up, however last year I decided I wasn't going to be beat. I did it but in fits and starts and shop window gazing.
Do you ever try some of the places in Cornwall, There is no down hill there someone altered it, it is all upwards. Try Port Isaac where Doc Martin is filmed for a hill. Try it anyway it's a lovely place.
