Mrs and Mrs Housebuyer (standing in our living room)
“It’s much bigger than our house, we haven’t got a separate dining room. With the extension I would definitely call it a four bedroom house rather than three.”
Mrs & Mrs Housebuyer (when the estate agents phone to see if they are interested)
“It’s about the same size of our present house. We are really looking for a four bedroom house”
Mr Housebuyer (in our kitchen)
“We would like a bigger kitchen but we could easily extend through to the extension”
Me: “You might have problems as that’s a supporting wall”
Mr Housebuyer “Not a problem at all, I could put in an RSJ and make a really great kitchen. It’s got loads of potential”
Mr Housebuyer (when the estate agents phone to see if they are interested)
“No, the kitchen’s too small”
Mr Housebuyer to the estate agent when cancelling a viewing
“I drove past last night and there’s not enough parking”
Well maybe not for a car dealership but we parked our camper van, our Volvo estate and my work Astra van in the front for a couple of years!

Hi Les, I just found your blog courtesy of Kingdom Cat. Great to find you again! I am happy to read about your progress or lack of same - but keep your fingers crossed. It’s the perfect house for someone.
Mind you, I would remove those countdown things from your blog - they’ll drive you nuts!
What are your plans when you arrive in Lewis?
All the best and good luck.

Aye Les, pretty soon they will be using that time worn phrase- “Oooh, it’s ever so spacious ,innit?”
Or “Nice, yes. Very nice..”.
Or the cracker of a comment I heard on “Location Location” a couple of weeks ago- “Hmnn, well the stairs come right out of the hallway, and that just seems odd to me..”
Pfft. Eh???
