I predict February will be spent painting and decorating, punctuated by walks staring at the horizon.
The shelves in the snug were brown, walls pink and for a fresh start all will be white...
The hounds love the carpet.
This is dreadful! I am drooling already. How am I going to read this blog when all is white and fresh, spring is springing and sea walks will be sunny and fresh? I live less than 10 miles from the sea, but I don't always feel like driving, then there are car parks, coins and tickets, getting the tide right. I want to live BY the sea! I look for somewhere suitable, but would really like to transplant my present house and garden!!
I remember being in Fairlight. It's possible to see tiny French cars isn't it? Or did I invent this part of my memory? I think I walked to Hastings from there. I like those shelves far better in white. I am quite envious of all that painting and decorating and walking you are about to do!
Hi Jane, You would have walked to Hastings, but unsure about the French cars, I might have to wait until the summer to know for sure! The shelves are taking a lot of coats...
That's the thing - there's always a compromise, isn't there? Ours are based on my husband's very long, once-weekly, commute. We needed good broadband and mobile reception. I have lovely neighbours, and a large garden in an edge-of-town spot which is very quiet. I just hanker after the sounds and smell of the sea. Can't help it!

ReplyDeleteWould it help if I said there is no access to the shore and the Post Office is a thirty minute round trip x

ReplyDeleteWHY are newly-bought houses always pinK? The exterior of ours was and the interior was purple....
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pics from Florida with the same postal commute.

ReplyDeleteHmm... What a beautiful view and your new den looks great too. Well done.
ReplyDelete'I'm quite jealous' viewing it here from the middle of the Midlands.
