Back to the country etc

My friend had one, (jacuzzi, not hairy chested man) and she said the same thing.

We used to have a jaccuzi bath. I always forgot to turn on the jets before getting in the bath. When I did turn them on I got jetted with cold water that had been sitting in the jets and had to reheat the bath water. The idea was much nicer than the reality. Only used it about a dozen times, I think.

That was about the man in the bath. Been there, done the maintenance on the choc box cottages. Present home is very modern with no draughts!

Each to their own! Or perhaps I’m showing my age!?

I used to only like the real chocolate box cottages, but now I enjoy the big, glassy, sleek places.

Ooh, I imagine sharing a corner bath with a glass of bubbly and a hairy chested man.
Like in the films.

Everyone seems to want to live on 'the edge of a village' don't they?

Some are just showing off and being very picky - with so many millions to spend. They want perfection when it would be easy to make changes, but have no imagination.

I do like looking at the properties though - just try to ignore the people.

We have a jacuzzi bath MissA, not a corner one though. It was here when we bought the house and we’ve never used it, prefer showers. So it’s totally wasted on us.

I love the suite but hate the walls.
I would have gone full on Victorian , but that’s me.

I wish them luck if they ever want to sell that MissA.

I'd rather like one of those corner baths, with the built in jacuzzi jets.

it is on pinterest

not sure if you have to be on pinterest though. It is holding me hostage and I cannot escape

You're welcome to that one MissA. Please don't start a trend ?

There it is.

Oh it was really lovely, I thought, anyway.

That bathroom sounds lovely MissA

I’ve been waiting for coloured bath suites to make a return.
Long overdue

Grand designs!

There was an absolute corker of a home on tv the other week.
The programme where they build or refurbish..
I can't remember the damn name of it!

They chose all coloured bathroom stuff; an avocado toilet, with a pink bath and a blue sink.

I loved it, but my boys thought it was gruesome!

I liked the 'Escape to a Market Town' series too - it's what we are planning to do and finding it hard.

I like that idea of a series 'Return to the City' Franbern definitely has possibilities.

I missed that series larry5

I liked the escape to a country town which was made by the ettc team. It was far more realistic for most people. We moved from south London to near Bath when we were in our late 50s and although there were lots of lovely villages around we now live in a small town as we felt that we would not want to move again and we realised that we were getting older and it was more practical to live bus routes etc.

Mind you I love looking at the properties they show and can't quite believe what some people have to spend!

Nope. Nothing wrong with hand holding but who holds hands when house viewing - unless you’re a bit doddery on the stairs. Time & place and all that. I’m sure the producer encourages them to do it.
Some folk moved into a ‘very ordinary’ house here recently and the first thing they did was install some very expensive automatic 7’ gates. Personally I’d have spent my money replacing the hideous 60’s windows. But, hey, there you go. It gave the village something to talk about for a while

As someone who lives in the country I know exactly what they do when they move into their idyllic country pad too...they fence and security gate it off, double glaze with those grey tone windows, put up security lighting like we are all thieves and have a variety of massive 4x4s on their new concrete driveway and stone lions either side of the front door. Some of them even astro turf their gardens!

I most probably sound spiteful but it happens so often and there seem certain lanes that attract these type. They moan about mud and muck too

This just sounds like some of the houses in our country village. They also build huge patios that could host the Queen's garden party.
Ever green lawns and summer houses that could be a granny flats they are so big.The security lights on one are so bright DH calls it Stalag 13.
Then wonder when it rains why a lot of the village floods and complain. Didn't they see the rain gauge as they drove in or were they the ones who grafeted it a "penis gauge" to amuse their city friends when they visit?
We feel just the same as you Jane Judge. We even have one with a personalised mile stone to the city where they belong!!!

There's nothing wrong with holding hands. We all do it. It just seems noticeable that they always make a point of doing it.
