Halfway down the hill is a house that comes with wisteria pre-installed. It's an interesting shape and has some interesting deign work going on and has a lovely front(ish) garden; I've been admiring it regularly every time I go by for years.

... and it's currently for sale.

From the start of the brochure:

Barnfields are proud to offer for sale this formidable semi-detached property built in 1927 by local builder Mr Hills. Hills Folly boasts a wealth of period features along with a modern twist offering five bedrooms, two reception rooms, a magnificent kitchen/breakfast room and conservatory.

It's hilariously out of budget and not suitable in any number of ways and we're not looking to move house...

... but we might just book a viewing anyway. I mean! Look at it.

House. We have put up our art and we have cooked food and located the washing machine and I've unpacked most of my books and perfume and jewelry onto shelves, and - I thought it was going to be hellish and it was so much less bad than I expected.

And then we got drunk & curled up to socialise for an hour or so, and then we went to bed, and I was rocked to sleep by the trains, and - yes.

We do not yet have Internet access working. An engineer might be required. But I will be online from work and available via SMS, so.

(I am so glad this is over, and so glad that I get to build a home, and I feel - so much - as though I'm only playing at this, as though I don't really get to keep it. Maybe it will settle in. Maybe I will learn how security feels.)
