Re: Photo's of what you love..

Was the Christmas Shop picture
taken in Bourton-on-the-Water in the Cotswolds?
It is one of my favourite places.
I'll try to upload some photos when I work it out how to do it.

We have a fair amount of savings which we could use as a deposit, but I would be very scared to do that and ending up in negative equity. The money would be tied up...
