  • We moved over to NI on Friday 13th Nov and it's good to be back by the sea. Had my lunch today 30 secs from the house, on a bench looking out to Scotland.

    Mostly unpacked now, and contemplating what order to do the various bits of work required -

    1. Re-rendering and roof/chimney fixes to stop damp.
    2. Lowering ground level to side of house by 1 foot+ as some utter pellet thought it a
      good idea to raise it so it's currently a foot higher than internally.
    3. Rewiring
    4. Perhaps knocking through front and back living rooms.
    5. Decorating.
    6. Probable replacement of uPVC windows and external doors with something less bollocks.

    Can't afford all of it now, but we'll see how we go.

  • Stunning.
    Not sure I could ever leave London but shots like that make me feel it could be possible some day...

  • TBH 5 years ago we weren't thinking about leaving London at all.
    3 years ago we were tired of the place (the noise, traffic, cost) and we made the move to Bath.
    And less than a year ago we realised that all the things we really were looking for - nice big house, decent garden, close to sea, close to nice countryside and places to visit and go camping - were all MUCH cheaper in Northern Ireland...
    I have a sneaking suspicion that 15 years from now we'll be in a 1 pub village on the west coast of ireland somewhere.
    But for now this is all good :)
