Neil,

Just too many links, but have been learning a lot in the past hour. That "Palace" had to be the cat's meow.

Thanks.

PS. Still not done with all the links...LOL

Dear Nancy, got you a house so you can over look it!
Regards and Hugs.
Neil.

Neil, Its a while since I went to Crystal Palaceand I had forgotten how interesting it is. You and Ian used to love it up there when there was a chilkdren,s zoo there, I remeber a little goat trying to eat Ian,s coat,!!! .

Perfect...... Even to the Jap. maple in front. Looks like my kind of house!!! Will we be close to each other..like neighbors????

When will it be ready to move in?

Hugs,

How about tomorrow!
Trouble is there are no pubs nearby, unless you like a bit of a walk and a fall down hill!
Regards and a Big Hug.
Neil.

I'm backed and on the next flight. Forgot to ask is there is a shack in back for Bob?

Ah, but making one of the rooms into a wine cellar would do the trick, Neil. In fact, you probably have cellars there, right? We don't in Florida for this house is just 11 feet above sea level and it's all on coral rock. Makes for interesting gardening.

Now you must have deliveries so I wouldn't have to walk to or from the stores with the cases of wine. See, all problems solved!

Hugs,

Your new neighbor.

Dear Nancy, what deliveries? You simply walk and carry it, stops polluting the planet unless you eat beans.
A Tudor House has no cellars, just sewers as I showed you in my last Article!
There is no shack whatever that is, but if you mean a shed then no. But there is the Gardeners tool shed! If it gets cold you start a Tractor up and huddle up to the engine, done that a few times.
Especially when I was late back to my Grandmas, she locked me out as it was after 8 o'clock at night, so I slept in the coal shed with my motorcyle engine on and the exhausts out of the door. Then it ran out of petrol at 4 in the morning. Oh well you learn!
Hugs.
Neil.

But, Neiil....

How do you carry several cases of wine to stock the cellar? Plus, at my age, don't need beans. Why do you think they call us Old Farts? LOL

Sewers definitely would not make a good wine cellar, so it's back to refitting a room. It must have a spare one from the look of that size. How about cheese down in the sewer or is it still used as a sewer? Here I go again with my questions.... Don't houses there usually have cellars? The sewers are still in use?

Yes, a shack would be a shed. I'm sure Bob would be just as happy with the tool shed with the tractor, I'd have to keep Archie inside.

I also was locked out of the house, but that's another story.

You must learn to always keep a full tank of gas for emergencies and fuel up on the way home. Learned that as a Biker Chick. I'm the one on the left and on top.

Nitey-nite.

Dear Nancy, you have confused me a bit. The nearest big store (we call then supermarkets), is quite a walk, like two miles away, but you can get a bus there! We tend to walk in the UK not use a lot of expensive petrol. Sometimes it is quicker on the bus as they can use the bus lanes. However the roads were built for horse and carts, not big cars parked either side of the road.
You can get your shopping delivered but they charge you for it. So why waste money when a two mile walk is nothing with a rucksack and two miles back is a bit slower with the weight!
Think of all these Gyms that have opened up everywhere, they amaze me. People drive there and then do their 30 minutes training or whatever they do and go in the bar for a drink. That does not sound like a good way of keeping fit to me. Simply walk it is better for you!
I am sure that a good 40 mile walk in 24 hours over the Brecon Beacons would sort most people out! Or Ten Tors over Dartmoor, I did that it was fantastic fun.
The Army Escalation over Dartmoor was not good fun though, I must admit!
Big Hugs.
Neil.
