I swear that house just winked at me.
I hope you and John will be very happy there, Joss.

Thanks Folks, it does have a certain 'je ne sais quois', but in a completely different way from the Holy land house, which of course was the real macoy. Tiny, tiny, it is, nowhere to iron or put doggy boots, or swing a cat until I build on in someway, but for the town that it is in, we do have parking, garage and a good location, so worth the massive downsize.
Quite surprised that nobody has commented about the difference between the two houses. My 'new' one was built in about 1860 and then stripped back to the four walls and roof trusses and rebuilt from a semi to detached circa 1970, they seem to have fooled us . I have to say that even I find it quite hard to see the differences, even the thick old floor boards upstairs and the staircase were saved during that refurbishment in the '70's .
The back garden holds the clues, showing bits of old outbuildings here and there.
Funny about your bistro set Moo, I gave my set to the house clearance in Fakenham----- glad shed is so homely.

Moo said:I've just bought a dinky little 'bistro set' (table and two chairs) for The Shed.
Two chairs?? Where are the rest of us going to sit?
Doh! I've just realised the plan. We wield the fork and hoe while you and J sit and sip chilled Rose de Syrah.
However did you guess?
Mind you, artisans are allowed rest periods when they may sit in the other really comfy chairs and drink proper coffee from posh (blue and white, of course) plastic mugs. It is also permitted to eat the strawberries, though you'd have to bring your own cream because we don't yet have a solar-powered 'fridge.

Artisan? Me?? The word carries an implication of skill and expertise!
