Like you our resources are very limited. I plan and dream and wish but in the end we have to make do. Beautifully written as always V. Our house is falling down around us.

We have lived in our house for fifteen years. It was owned before us by a Hospital Authority. It was a wreck having been lived in by down and outs, squatters. Holes in the walls, in the floors, damp, insects. You name it we had it. But jackie my wife fell in love with it. Possibly reminded her of me. A surveyor had printed in big letters DO NOT BUY IT. But here we are and Yes we are happy even though neighbours do not appreciate our wilderness garden with it's active wild life. Snap. We have lived in our house for fifteen years.

It is our home though and I spend a fair time wishing we could afford to update. I am a horder though and often look and wonder if we got rid of all the 'stuff' if that would look better. I read your words and a tiny bit of me wishes I were young again with the energy and vision you have in seeing your dream. For some reason this post has really touched my sensibilities, perhaps its made me look back whilst you look forward. I'd like to know what was in the stables too!

The evening we moved in I was crying. There was no heating. It was a chilly March. The house was damp and smelled it too. With Spring I couldn't get myself to work indoor that much and spent wonderful hours designing and creating my dream garden. Then my husband had to leave for professional training for 10 month and I did all the DIY work myself, arranging, painting, fixing. I loved it but was sometimes discouraged. And then he had a job with an assigned house and we had to sell. We no longer own any place now. I just wrote a blognote about what home means to me, it's in French though: http://minutepapillon8.canalblog.com/archives/ces_lieux_qui_nous_habitent/index.html ps: also curious about the stables.

The whole house is built backwards and just ugh. But it's home and it will do. No matter how much work we put into this place though, it will never be exactly what we want.

But mostly amazing. I don't think I could do it, but I love the idea of being able to really create the home you want. I've spent far too long in rentals. It sounds amazing. And a bit scary.
