I really wish Dave and I could buy
this house. A 200 year old cottage on three levels, little yard with flowers, huge kitchen, semi-rural but only 25 minutes by train to Manchester or 45 minutes to Leeds. And a wood burning stove, my dream.
City centre living is getting to me slightly. I love the walkability but the lack of horizons drives me crazy, the lack of space for drying clothes outside or growing a few herbs or tomatoes gets to me. Being able to sit outside with a drink in the evening gets to me.
