House Pix

OK you asked for it (Sif lol), so here is a picture heavy post. For some people perhaps this is just an old 50's house - but as I've said before, for me it's a dream come true.

I grew up with just mum and for several teenage years I not only shared a bedroom with my mum but a bed! I didn't think of us as 'poor' because really I had everything I could possibly need, but nor did I ever think of myself as grown up with a proper house because even when I did have my own bedroom mum and I mostly lived in flats or units (no yard).

So I've always wanted a house with some character, and most of all a beautiful yard. The beauty of the house is that all the rooms (bar one really) look out to the yard which has established trees and hedges. I love that even on a hot day some shade can always be found. The upstairs rooms actually span the depth of the house and have windows to the front and the back. This means that even though I'm in a much bigger house than before I can still monitor the kids in the yard which is important.

Anyway the house suits us perfectly.
