I don't live on a farm , nor in a smart townhouse, but that is what I would like to live in. And so this house is getting me down as lots of work needs doing.<br /><br />I am sure I could not live on a farm ..but I am sure my hubby could. He used to work on a farm in his teens when he lived in West Wales far from anywhere. <br /><br />That is the difference.. my house gets me down as nothing has changed except two rooms, and that was my doing.. he doesn't see the need for it to be done. <br /><br />Or it could be that other problems makes us unhappy in our homes.. <br /><br />You and your hubby have done and are doing a fantastic job, you are always busy , with lots and lots, not like me, so I think too much :-) take care xoAnne in Oxfordshirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14479380647784781207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-20522035261324853392010-11-04T09:30:33.651+00:002010-11-04T09:30:33.651+00:00Thank you for all these lovely comments.

Despite our house renovations still not being finished after 3 years I'm beginning to see some of the half done jobs as works of art!<br /><br />Even the muck heap has a special place in my heart this year for yielding the most fantastic compost I've ever seen, and the mess, well, that is as you said part and parcel of country living I guess.Suzy Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15074486295780147748noreply@blogger.com
