The Home

Our home is a modest house, which at the moment looks - and has been - rather neglected! I'd like to be able to say that it's always clean and tidy, but the truth is that after working very long hours and 7 days a week on my smallholding, I don't have the time or energy to come home and clean it. So, if you are looking for spick and span surroundings, then it is not for you! The first photo shows the back garden and back of house, the other two show the small bedroom.

It was built in 1980, has double glazing, electric heating and an open fire that we often use during the winter, so is easily kept warm in winter, and is also light and airy. Downstairs there is a dining room, kitchen, bathroom and large sitting room, plus two bedrooms. Upstairs is a third bedroom.

We usually use the upstairs area ourselves, it is a double bedroom with a small area to one side for a single bed. Downstairs the larger double room has a shower and fitted wardrobes. The smaller bedroom has a double bed that just fits in. It could do with redecorating and the fitted wardrobe being improved or removed, which is one job to be done later this summer. All bedrooms have their own TV, DVD player and heater so a guest or helper may have private time with some comfort.
