What do you think of my new Scottish home?

[threefeethighandrising]

DP and I are considering moving back to his native Scotland, so we can get a place with a bit more space.

I found this, do you think it'll do?

Its lovely and a 45 foot ballroom is of course an absolute must since Strictly is on the TV.

I particularly like the nursery being so detached from the rest of the house... wouldn't want the pesky children to disturb my work in the 'Poet's room' or the 'Flower Room'

it is lovely, we often walk through the grounds. good luck with the move and i lookforward to popping in!

Oh, I see you've found our house. Yes, we're upgrading as the ballroom isn't quite big enough

Gifford is lovely.....and yes, definitely move back to Scotland!

BeenBeta and HMtheQueen - that's just what we thought, essentials of course.

TheParasiteofChristmasPast that'd be delightful, do pop in! (You will remember to remove your muddy boots first though, won't you?!).

Masie. Hmm. I would say 45 foot is quite adequate. Anything bigger would be a touch on the vulgar side, don't you think?

This is nice too, although it's just over the border a bit.

Vulgar??? Moi??? Yes, very probably

That one in Belsay is very lovely too
Are you seriously looking at houses like these?

Seriously?! Why of course my dear!

Oh, OK then - not really! I was just having an idle look at houses in the Borders (an area DP loves, and which is on the list for possible places we might live in the future) and the list came up with most expesive first. I couldn't resist a look!

In reality, our last flat was probably smaller than the gate in the first one! (See picture 11).

But one can dream, no?!

There's no price on them but I reckon you'd need to win the Euromillions lottery to have a chance at afording them!

I can't even spell afford. There's no hope for me is there?!

Its a bit too small for my liking

No, there is no hope!

A girl can dream though....imagine being able to afford houses like that

Ooh I'm sure it'd be awful. I mean think about it... What if you mislaid something - your glasses / some guests / a child or two, perhaps? You might not find them for weeks!

And all the parties you'd have to throw, to show the place off. Very tiresome I'm sure

but there is a really nice pub at the end of the village

small.

three you'd need to win the euro lottery at least twice once to afford it then again for the upkeep!

Paws off, OP, I saw it first

Those Old Stables (slide 14?) are a bloody disgrace - they should come down at least 80% of asking price for that, I reckon.

stables need a bit of work. apart from that it's delightful.

Mislaying a child or 2 for a few weeks? Oh yes, that would be dreadful
