SHE'S FINALLY OURS!!! After what felt like an eternity, we have finally settled on our house affecftionately known as 'Monstrosity', a name we called it after driving past, then as fate would have it SOMETHING about this huge monstosity of white cladding made us turn back....it was in a great location, has a large yard for the kids (and mum lol) and when we went inside the first time, it was love at first sight. Not sure what took our breath away, actually, as it has such a hideous mish mash of styles all menacingly covering up the 1930's grace and beauty of the original house, but somewhere deep inside our hearts we could tell that under all this 1970's lino (and the 1950's lino stuck under that....) here was a place to build family's future. And our crazy offer was accepted.....and the rest as they say, is history.
To the question frequently asked by my new workmates and neighbours as to why we moved HERE (they are incredulously unaware of the awesome proximity) we have taken to responding, 'we threw a dart at a map and here we are', but in this case the truth hasn't strayed far from the yarn.
Now we are looking forward to doing her justice and renovating to reveal her true beauty, and filling her with vintage spoils.
Just the small issue of that OTHER house to deal with. Humph, well the universe moves in mysterious ways.
Here she is IF you're game ;)
