I spent some of the morning giving our bedroom a good tidy up....I could see cobwebs!
This afternoon I tidied the garden. Weeding, sweeping & doing out the porch which whoever there is a wind seems to get full of dead leaves.
Luckily our green bin collection is still functioning in the lock down.
I am hoping when the PM talks to us on Sunday he might get the housing market moving with strict rules for house viewing....we have to be ready as we have a viewer lined up.
Three good things:
1. I have just started a charming book called Finding Henry Applebee by Celia Reynolds.
2. Chatting in What’s App with my siblings.
3. Plans for VE Day.
@s4sayer Thanks Margo we have had a lot of viewers but they all say the same...it would cost too much to do it as we want it!
They all want to knock walls down & make it modern....it’s a very old farmhouse...it makes me cross sometimes! . We are under no illusion it’s going to sell fast in this climate!
A lovely old and traditional house and such a tranquil garden to sit in the dappled shade of the large trees . So satisfying to get the place tidied up , Gary mowed the lawns this afternoon - makes all the difference ! I am sure that eventually you will find the right buyer Pat ! when we get out f this lock-down !
Thank you all. I feel happier now we have got it straitened up again. Was spot on when we went to NZ but since then I let things slide a bit.... all ship shape again! The weather helps!
Looking very smart.. hopefully things start moving in realestate for you.. so hard when things are up i the air.. My porch is getting fill of leaves now as well.. FG has now realized that is one of the things that bother me.. lol
What a beautiful house! I hope things loosen up so you can get your viewers round and move on with the next phase of your life. Such a difficult time for any future planning.
Here the realtors tell us we have to have “drive up appeal”, how the home looks when the prospective buyers come to view the home. Your drive up appeal is lovely!
What a beautiful house...I hope you are comfy there for now... thank goodness you weren't half-way boxed up. Friends of friends moved and wrote detailed instructions on every box with room plans etc. Apparently not many chaps arrived and when they got to the house later that night they found an enormous pile of boxes in the first room they came to......
@filsie65 Oh how awful...hope they asked for a discount! We had boxed a lot up....gave some furniture away then our sale fell through. It was good to declutter & I’ve put some books back in my bookcases! We are very happy here but the house is far too big for us so it’s best if we move nearer the village.
@louannwarren It does look it’s best at the moment Lou Ann but everyone wants open plan these days although my kitchen is big, it’s difficult knocking down very thick walls too! Hoping cosy will come back in fashion!
Nice shot! Crisp and fresh! Fingers crossed for Sunday too. We were lucky to complete two days before lockdown - now homeless lol! Desperate to move on with purchase of new house (all lined up and ready to go!)
@helly31 oh good position to be in Helen...good luck with your move....I am very gloomy about our house sale...who is going to have money fir house moves....very unsettled times I feel.
@happypat it’s tough. I really hope you secure the sale you need. We endured a nail-biting weekend before completion and our buyer’s removal company dropped out on the day! They got a small van and four guys last minute. Our removals were great but it’s all in storage. Sorry for chapter & verse - but wish you all the best!
@helly31 Good to hear your moving tales Helen...you must be dying to move in, think it will be a while before we get to that stage...your sellers must be so glad it all completed before Coronavirus!
