The ideal AoS holiday home?

Anyone got a spare €20 million or so down the back of the couch? If so there's a little property in Sicily that you might be interested in. Nelson's Villa La Falconara in Taormina is for sale and although there's no price on the sellers website, I've read elsewhere that the price is between €15 and €20 million. Actually it's been

Picturing Nelson lounging in the pool! He seems the sort of guy who would like loud shorts and an umbrella drink! Of course, since it is his house he need not wear anything at all.

He can keep a coach in the garage, and call up some sailors when needed to pull him through the street and cheer.

Ned is shuddering at the concept of an umbrella drink but thinks the grandkids would like the pool, though he doesn't think it looks made for diving ..;
what a place it could be the perfect fangirl hideout

Listening to the noise of Nelson rotating in his grave.

PS: The music is shit!

Yay! Come along, the more the merrier :)

[anteros_lmc]

I'm right there with ya! XD

PS: Apologies for the shit music. I had my speakers on mute when I posted this. It really is god awful isn't it?! Maybe that's why it's failed to sell :}

It's funny how everyone's thoughts are running on what a fantastic fangirl hangout it would be - that was my first thought too! Now we just need to find a millionaire benefactor and convince him (or her!) that a Home for Distressed Age of Sail Fangirls is a most worthy cause...
