What are the things you like most in your home?

Big, small, expensive, cheap, or any other variation.

Grandchildren go without saying, so what else do you really like?

He seems quite interested in your home, kitty rather than just leaving you to decide everything.
I would have liked a partner like that.

Thank you MissA. That is the most Old School Bit really.

We have a few bronzes - this is my favourite. It was bought by dh for a wedding anniversary and is called 'Where the Heart Is'.

MissAdventure Tue 08-Nov-22 16:26:46

smile Sounds a sensible hobby to me.

Generally yes! We have a shared interest in watching other people exercise smile

MissAdventure Tue 08-Nov-22 16:23:34

I love snippets of your place, kitty.

The old school house. smile

We have your wallpaper in our hall, Fanny. I love it.

MissAdventure Tue 08-Nov-22 16:17:11

Oh she is beautiful!

Is she well behaved?

Goodbyetoallthat Tue 08-Nov-22 16:11:52

Here we go (I hope)

Aldom Tue 08-Nov-22 16:11:08

Fanny, I used to have your William Morris wallpaper in my hall and on the stairs smile

Love every square inch of my house which we bought in 1975. It was a wreck but we eagerly and lovingly restored it. Special smaller items would only be photographs.

I love my old style, wooden "pulley" for drying laundry. It works well and means I rarely use the tumble drier.

I have two lovely bowls created by a local wood turner from a large piece of a hawthorn tree we had to have felled. He created other items to sell. I was glad it didn't end up as firewood.

MissAdventure Tue 08-Nov-22 16:03:17

Are we allowed to see her face, goodbye?
Or would everyone recognise her?

She is a Bernese Mountain Dog.

Ooo lovely!

My light spacious uncluttered flat. 2 minutes walk from large open space to walk through into town. Some lovely pictures but they would ‘out” me ! Mix of modern and antique furniture. In my kitchen I have a corner with two windows and a table . Great for staring out of the windows

Joseanne Tue 08-Nov-22 15:45:08

No sorry, Beethoven was a St Bernard!

Joseanne Tue 08-Nov-22 15:44:10

Is that a Beethoven dog?

This princess & the sea view from my kitchen window.

I like my big cupboards, a piece of coloured cloth (or some kind of runner or cover?) with what I think are some words in amongst a religious (?) pattern. In short, I don't know what it is, but I like it.

My crochet bedspread.
My shrimp tank.
One of the pictures in my living room, and a little mirror, too.
And my clock.

My garden. We are really enjoying growing our own. I've been out in the sunshine this morning collecting the leaves to compost. And to think that pre covid we were thinking of downsizing. We have decided to stay put now for as long as we are able.

Another reason to hang on here is to provide a safety net for the one Adult DC with children who is in a rented home. They would love to buy the house they are in but if the worse happens we have enough room here until they find somewhere.

MissAdventure Tue 08-Nov-22 12:38:12

Oh air conditioning.
I'd love that, I think.

Namsnanny Tue 08-Nov-22 12:35:30

I'm always trying to 'empty' my house of 'things' and I have loads of bits.
So I'm in the habit of narrowing down the things I really appreciate about my home.
One of which is large windows!
Also efficient central heating and air con.
The few things I would take if there was a fire would be bits the children made or gave me.

Hip and Hop are beautiful. They look so tactile

Blossoming Tue 08-Nov-22 11:27:04

My walk in airing cupboard.
The view over the marina.

Fanny Gracie is absolutely adorable - that little face!
