It's south facing (more or less!) and I still love looking at it every day to see what's going on out there. I have a window that overlooks the garden and any time I've got nothing particular to do I can be found gazing out over my garden dreaming about what I'm going to plant, and what landscaping I can do. Even if my house fell down tomorrow I'd stay here but live in the shed!

Sounds perfect

For me it wasnt the house which I fell in love with, it was the huge beautifully tendered garden with stunning views. Then my Northern Inuits came and it now looks like this:-

We have made changes to the house, made it more dog friendly and the garden will have to have no grass for next winter as my 2 NI's just run up and down the garden all day long and now its just mud.

Oh I remember what it was like to have mud in the garden with Sabre charging up and down it like a horse

He made his own special path that he would charge down if he heard anyone passing the front gate, I was really sorry when it grew back again because I always looked on it as Sabres path

Hee hee the garden is like mine, when we moved here 22 years ago our back although quite small was sp well tended rock gardens gorgeous grass and flowers, now well its got one or two bushes and the rest paved, we gave it over to the dogs, they like it though. We moved here cos we had three children at the time at home and needed space, would prefer more space outside but its home now and hopefully will never have to move, its no palace though!!

Well I was 5 and had no choice!

But I think my parents chose this house firstly cos it was cheaper then the one 2 doors up with a conservatory and bigger garden!

Also it's got HUGE windows in every room so is nice and light.

Must admit I've spent over 20 years in this house (bungalow really!) and it will be sorely missed when they move elsewhere and I move out.

Plus I'm finding stairs to be a serious pain in the butt!
