Scilly

One day, it would be amusing to live on the Islands of Scilly, so that you could say, 'Oh, didn't you know? I moved to the Isles of Scilly... you must come for a laugh some time!' (the forecast predicts quite a bit of sun today in the Isles)

In other news, Scotland has been determined to be the best place in Britain to bring up children. Oh, aye!

For separate information, let us turn to pictures of new cosy abode (computer seems slightly rested from its crack binge this morning and one must make hay whilst the sun shines).

To (R) is pic of front of house. Next the door is a little inset square into the wall at the pavement. Not sure if have mentioned this on blog before, but E saw some of these Easter weekend and interprets them as built-in boot scrapers. Obviously, in ye olde dayes, there would not have been pavement everywhere, so lots of mud would be around to be tracked in (and local rain levels would lead to quite a bit of mud). My entry to house will not be from front, but visitors may, naturally, visit me through such :)

Here is my kitchen (which also contains back door, immediately to R of end of cabinet on R side of pic). This is a SUPER kitchen, esp. compared to previous kitchens since 2409 Fairfield in Shreveport! Gas hob (stove), loads of cabinet space, and two windows for growing herbs. There is washer, fridge and then something else appliancy in the middle that escapes my memory. There is a space at end of (L) cabinet where can put dryer, and then room for a small table immediately out of picture to (L), about where photographer is standing. Shower room is out of picture, up a small step on (R) side of picture and sort of behind photographer. There is really no need to show a shower room -- people know what those look like, I suppose. Have I mentioned that it is clean? This makes me, oh, so happy!


To (R) is a slightly crooked view of the main room. My plan is to have a futon so as to not have to have guests sit on my blankets and such if a bed is immovable. Furnishings included are at this point slightly uncertain, but I am fairly sure that my furniture in Cardiff will fit. Only questionable object being the desk, but shall keep fingers crossed. To (R) of fireplace is an olde built-in cabinet which has a lovely bead-board door. Section of exposed brick is on wall behind camera.

So, come on over and see me some time... (well, after the 11th)
