Where I live
I was going to post this pic to illustrate why I don't get any trick or treaters, but it didn't seem appropriate somehow.
So am posting here in the hope that if I show mine, you'll show yours! My flat is on the ground floor of this building - the windows you see are my front room. |

Not quit as nice as all of yours but surely much better security.

Here's my pad - shows what happens if you reach 'old fart' age and status and have been lucky to move at the right time in the UK housing market. It all started with a small two bedroom job needing loads of work in a not so popular part of a town called Epsom.
We've moved a total of 5 times (so far - well, who knows...) in our 30+ years of marriage. This came up at the wrong time from a family size point of view (we still had our two boys living at home as teenagers and we only had two bedrooms in this place), but the right time price-wise. We managed to get an extra bedroom added in time to prevent the domestic equivalent of World War 3. The house is the gate house to a park and was originally just the square bit with the funny chimney stack sat in the middle of it. It dates back from mid 1800's and has been extended a number of times since the 1950's. There is a wierd-looking main house in the park itself, that has been divided into five separate houses. I'll post a picture of it later. The main house claim to fame is that it was used by Joe Kennedy when he was here as US Ambassador during WW2 - like to think that JFK may have run around my garden when he was a boy....

*Awesome* digs, CF. The sunroom/greenhouse is tres groovy. Must be rather pastoral where you are.
I'll post a picture of my wholly unremarkable suburban early-60's ranch hovel sometime soon. Looks a lot better now that the toilet and dead monitor and lawnmower are out of the driveway.

CF - I love your house!!
We just rebuilt ours over the last two years, because our original house burned down in 2003. We used the same foundation, so we went from a one story rectangle box to a two story rectangle box. The character of the place is all on the inside, as the outside is a bit boring. |

I agree with the rest CF, wonderful place! Looks like it has a lot of character.
This is the part of our house that I like the best : |

Like the sunny shot and that pool. I think I'll have to dig the floor up inside ours. Mind you with the regular wet weather we have here I might not have to as we get our fair share of water inside anyway. You'd think the Brits would know how to build 'em so they didn't leak, but seems not. Everyone I know who has a conservatory suffers leaks! Although, having said that, ours is holding out so far this year after some repairs during the summer...(mustn't speak too soon). Dark morning and evenings now here so will have to wait until the weekend for the picture of the big house (the one I have which I thought I'd use isn't so good)
