|Over 30 years ago we bought a terrace house that needed a lot doing to it , but one bonus was a large bathroom. so had a lovely old roll top solid bath which we kept, which was white , but that and the toilet were all that was in the big room. So I was able to go and find in white - which was cheaper anyway - and got a washbasin , an over bath shower and a bidet.. That was so useful and it was a lovely bathroom , which I had some very soft towels, so if felt like a treat to use the bathroom. I really missed that bidet when we left that house and never had a big enough bathroom again to have another one. Having lived abroad and travelled quite a bit I have had all sorts of bathrooms ranging from the hole in the ground with two foot places as the only loo (actually better for you I am told) to huge room with marble floor and double basins etc. But so long as I can keep it clean and the one pleasure of being a widow is having the bathroom to myself and it stays tidy and clean, I dont really care what it is like so long as it is mine all mine!
