.. well: I don't suppose there'll be buffalo roaming, but we've found a house to buy! Woo Hoo! [You'll just have to image me stamping round the living room Homer Simpson style punching fists my in the air .. though perhaps not if you're of a nervous disposition ;^) ]
So, what then?
Well, it's not our dream cottage in the country - but it ticks a number of major boxes and above all we felt comfortable there. Oh, and we stand some chance of being able to afford it. Which is nice.
It's an extended 1930's semi on a "through road" - which I think was once the main road in and out in that direction, but has since been superceded by a trunk road to the south. These days (I've travelled along it to work and back) it doesn't seem too busy. As they've built into the roof and extended to the rear there are four bedrooms and a pleasant south-facing kitchen-diner arrangement with large patio windows overlooking a deck and perhaps 80 feet of garden. (That's about 25 metres to you young'uns.) From the deck there are extensive views over the city beyond the jungle that is the end of the garden (ear-marked for a vegetable patch .. which it once was). There is a large park up the road and just beyond that a fair parade of local-type shops. Further in the other direction there is a hypermarket. To the north-west is a large expanse of open land with lakes, a deer park and woods. All in all, not a bad location, despite the fact that it's only a couple of miles from the city centre.
.. and the skies are not cloudy all day.
(let's hope, eh?)
