I am in NW Scotland. Garden very much open for parties.
It might delight you to know our neighbours recently purchased their house (and garden) for £275k. 5 bedrooms, 4 reception rooms.
But, a long way from the M25.
All welcome. The islands behind the snowstorm are utterly beautiful and the beach is fine white sand under the snow (Which we get little of - for proper snow you have to head inland).
