Congratulations Linz! How exciting!
I'm so jealous of you - I can't wait till we have our own home too. 
Have fun and good luck with it!

Well, a wooded setting near a lake sounds very nice actually! I love trees - I'm so chuffed (ie. happy  ) that there's a mature little tree in my garden - I hadn't even noticed it when I viewed the house! But a wood would be nice!
We don't have a lawn-mower yet - it's on our list of things to buy this weekend! With many, many things like a phone and a kettle!
It's 3 bedrooms, but we're going to make the smallest into an office. Built in 1969 I think, but no, we don't have a fireplace  . It's an ex-council house (do you guys HAVE council houses) so it wasn't built to be luxurious - but it will be soon!
Haven't actually met the neighbours yet, though I saw the lady next door today and she smiled, so that's a start!
Crumpets?...I have no idea how to explain crumpets!

That's awesome, Linz! I hope you like it! But what is that up there by that far left window??

Well, the house ain't scary - it's the mortgage that's scary! 
You've gotta come visit sometime! Maybe when I organise the 2005 UK get-together???!!!  You've just got to come see the UK... Ireland, the New Forest, our country pubs (they're cool I promise!)... oh, and me!
I'll try and take some piccies this w/e and scan them in. The garden's going to be very English. I love lots of delicate and scented flowers. And I want to make a space for doing yoga. And I'm definitely going to put a herb garden by the patio. The garden's on a slope, with a small paved area at the back of the house and then a retaining wall with steps leading up onto the rest of the garden. I can't wait to get to grips with it!!!

Congrats Linz & Si... it is a cute brick house.....
I SO want a house too!!
I was just thinking that at lunch today when driving in a neighborhood where people just don't care for the yards etc.... it makes me SO MAD.... I would love to have a house and a yard to make pretty and be OURS.... and then people like that take it for granted. Oh well...... our day is coming sometime in the next few years.
ENJOY your new home.... and keep the pics coming as you make it YOUR OWN!!

when was this pic taken? (is it from a listing?) if so, maybe it was taken in Dec? I think they are christmas decorations that are not turned on.....

Yeah that was my first thought, since the one on the right kind of resembles a snowman...
