My name is Menthe-Reglisse and I like to look on Rightmove for houses I could never, in a million years, afford to buy. And probably wouldn't want to anyway because they're too grand and too far away from my Life (geographically and socio-politically). But it doesn't have to be realistic to be fun. Tonight's findings, in Cornwall:

Two Georgian(ish)

Oh wow, I love the Elizabethan one. Though it looks like it has only one inside loo for its 8 bedrooms... And nowhere near a train station.

(I like playing Fantasy Estate Agent, too :) )

I could install composting toilets. And open a cafe in the big hall, selling homemade cake. Who needs social life?!

[julietk]

omg, composting toilets, of course.

It's quite big, too. Want to go splits? ;)

[menthe_reglisse]

We could trade babysits too. It's a plan! (Well, apart from the bit where I wouldn't need babysits because I'd have no social life if I lived there).

(I love doing this too!)

Rightmove has an Abroad section, I have recently discovered. I fancy this place near the Arc de Triomphe

I will have St Mary Mead Mawes, please. Because I wouldn't use an outdoor swimming pool nearly as much as I think, and I like the stripey pouffe thing in the dressing room.

[menthe_reglisse]

I'm afraid the stripey pouffe thing is not included in the sale. But may be available by separate negotiation.

We always scan the local rag for "if we win the lottery" houses. I think everybody does, at least occasionally.

[menthe_reglisse]

Yes, Rightmove is just a wider scan. There are too few houses in my local paper that are up to my exacting standards.

Blimey! That is entirely bonkers. Even more beyond what I can imagine myself into than the others. Unless I was setting up a school or something.
