It's really warm inside, it being a whitestone house, and usually very nice out for that matter, like today: 3C but still, dry, and sunny. The dryness of the air makes a huge difference. They love the heat from the fire though, and have always enjoyed snuggling in blankets.
All the windows upstairs are like that, and downstairs we have some stained glass and crystal lead lights. I'll take some photos of the lead lights as they're gorgeous.
That's next door's house's veranda, a traditional old one with a corrugated iron roof. A bookbinder lives there with his sweet friendly big tabby, Noisel, who comes to visit and loves cuddles.
On the other side is a policeman and family (who all come home for lunch weekdays), and they have a silver tabby like Ashley.
Out the front (well, back really, if the front faces the road), looking towards the sea, there's just our garden, then the Oamaru Gardens, then buildings obscured by trees, then the sea, so it's really very private. I'll do another post with photos as I know Kalypso would like to see the windows too.
Oh, BTW, sorry about the other day on Ao3. I agreed with what you said completely, but I know that stuff shows up on Google, and I didn't want to leave flamebait for hatemongerers. So it wasn't me judging you in any way, just wanting to be really careful. *HUGS*
I don't think there'll be any more for him to get used to. It's warmer here than Christchurch and Dunedin so it only snows every few years.
I'll post some more today of the windows and views, but we really need to redecorate the inside as the plaster's bumpy and damaged and the walls are horrible mismatching colours.
I did! If you knit, they're Susie's Reading Mitts on Ravelry, altered to not have the picot edging as the yarn was interesting enough. I made myself twopairs and plan a third - I need mitts, hats, and scarves here.

What gorgeous windows you have! Does the room/shed/whatever it is at the bottom right with the stained glass window belong to you, too?
