Wow! What an absolutely smashing cottage and veg plot! I am extremely green with envy, as I live just 3 miles from Heathrow airport, your neck of the woods looks extremely enticing, I must say!
Good luck with the sale, and finding something equally lovely to buy!
:D Emma.

Lovely gaff you have there Jopsy.

I've given the details to my friend (the one I pm'd you about a while ago)He's having a think. He's torn between wanting a moorland or sea property.

If it was a little bigger or the kids had left home, i'd have it myself. Gorgeous.
Lots of love

Why on earth do you want to move Jopsy? It looks perfect - so much nicer than my modern "box" :cry:

How about if we all club together, we could buy it for a K.G holiday home. :D :wink:

I'M sure Jopsy won't mind popping round to do the cleaning. :twisted: :) :wink:

Dear Zena when your Son's have left home, you will either need a stair lift, or a bungalow. :shock: :D :wink:

My aunty had a stair lift but she only used it when she was drunk :twisted: She was terrified she'd spill her brandy taking it up to bed so she used the stair lift. She was a game old girl. Used to send me out for a bottle of vodka and something for myself :twisted: :twisted:
Lots of love
