Bailing out

I just bought the thing in the picture. Well, the third that's nearest the camera, at any rate.
My old flat was made of chipboard and plasterboard and fiberboard and glue, and five years ago it was a bit of derelict ground. My new house has stone walls that are two feet thick and was built a couple of hundred years ago. Something about spending several hundred thousand pounds seems to require a bit of permanence, at least to my way of thinking.

Congratulations, Rob.
That's a writer's home if I ever saw one.
Kind regards, Derek

Good luck in your new home Rob- it looks perfect.

Those toadstools are where we'll sit when we do our next strategic planning meeting, eating home-grown strawberries, or aubergines, or something.
Are you going to buy a lawnmower or a pet sheep to keep that lawn as immaculate as it is? I, naturally, vote for the sheep.

**all of the below is said in jest and with affection**
OK, even though I know that there isn't a water heater in your whole country that works properly, and that your cars are JUST TOO SMALL, and that the only remotely healthy food there is Indian food, all of those complaints fall away when I see a house like that. There just isn't anything like that here. Damn you, you lucky bastard.
I also vote for the sheep. It would be appropriately picturesque.
