I think it will look better with windows.

Oh my wordy yes indeedy, Ms and MrBEVS would be most welcome.

Good point about the windows - I knew I should have brought my swag with me from Oz

Norfolk is nice, but I'm beginning to see what Friedrich Engels meant by "the idiocy of rural life."

More details, please!
I'd just come back round to the idea of moving to Norfolk after almost buying a house in N. Ireland.... (husband is getting cold feet, saying N'orn Ireland gets too much rain).

Your new home looks fabulous SOS. For us a water view is a must...there is always something different to see all year round.

I like the 'Pool and Scousers. Scousers get a bad rap...the ones I know are salt of the earth. My husband is a Woolyback...born and raised in Runcorn.

What a lovely thing to hear about Scousers and I totally agree. Wools are great people too! Although we're in New Brighton for now, we'll eventually move over to Liverpool. Scouse doesn't say much but I know he's pining for the place.

I love the updates the developer is posting, it really is a great way to see your investment being built, day over day

Sorry your mum had such a hard time with the Bute property

Listed buildings are so bloody hard to get any works approved for.

Re the updates - yes it's good to have the time lapse camera, although my blood pressure goes up when work stops for a week or more, as it has on several occasions. Was worse when we were stuck in Oz - we paid our deposit in 2013 - the development was supposed to be completed in mid-2015 but it's only been this year that work has really begun. We've had to put more money in as well. As I said (whinged) earlier, it's been a very stressful thing!
