To think that time losing sun *is* a good reason?

We are looking to move, it is for 'wants' rather than 'needs'.

My parents have suggested that they buy our smaller house, and we theirs, financially it would make sense for both and it has everything we are looking for, except;

the sun is gone from their garden by 18.30-40 this time of year, my garden keeps the sun until it sets.

No one else in my household really cares (dd a little) but I don't want to move somewhere where I can't sit in the garden in the sun. I sit out every possible night, I am sat now writing this with the sun still uninterrupted.

I don't get home until 6-6.15 and I work indoors with only artificial light, I'm not fussed about anything else, I am happy to move as the only thing I love is the garden but equally I am happy here.

DH says IABU but he gets all he wants (double garage, workshop, office and gym) whereas I lose the only think I want.

Could you make space to sit out the front?

I lose the sun in my garden at 6pm ish and while it feels a bit like a first world problem, I can't pretend it doesn't bother me a bit!
