The house we are in right now is 62 year old, now you know why we had to knock down the entire interior. This house belonged to the real estate broker's parents, the one who represented the sellers. his cousins bought the house from his parents. They had rose bushes around the house for generations. I am using the same gardeners they had, some very interesting stories.

I used to own a 600 year old house. 3 times people turned up and claimed some ancestral history. Muggins here, showed them round, but constantly thinking "Why am I doing this?

One of them did return with some interesting pictures and historical documents.

I often walk past a house I used to live in when I was little. It is not 600 years old but is fairly old. I sometimes think of knocking on the door, perhaps more to update them as to how primitive it was years ago. I look around though at all the other changes locally and think that they would probably not understand a lot of the context.

I always get a strange feeling seeing my old houses. It seems odd that now I can no longer just open the door and walk inside.

Caution, I am feral.

Our last house that we sold last year is being ripped apart. It's their house, I have no problem over that. We sold on good terms, so I am hoping to have a look around when they are finished.

We should have done more to it than we did.

So far they have taken out the built in garage, the car port, ywo sheds and a very expensive mahogany greenhouse. The front garden is full of sand and breeze blocks.

Am I curious?

Just an awful lot.

I am rather curious myself!

I'd live in an apartment situated in a castle. This would be in England, of course.

I would also use the local taxi service and go out & about as I pleased. I'd definitely go to London city once every few months to check out the nightlife! Although I will never live in London.

No: a castle apartment appeals.

I initially thought 2500sft was fine but obviously not.

I'd just rent one apartment in it. Anyhow, I LOVE apartment living.
