House.

Something the estate agent said has come back to me: 'Most people live in this road (the new one to which were moving) for twenty or more years.' Community like that must be hard to relinquish. If that really is the case it may be that we don't ever have to move again. I know I've dreamt for years of being able to  have a place where I can put a grand piano: but one rarely gets a sense of community in places like that, and I do like the sense of neighbourliness.
Anyway fingers crossed there are no slips between now and completion. I like the idea of permanence. Dad moved into his house in '68 and died there. Perhaps there is yet more I can learn from his example.

If buying a grand piano, you should get a Fazioli. It won't cost even nearly as much as the house itself.

Pah, like Ludwig I'll opt for a Broadwood and lump it. Though I doubt the place we're buying will have room enough for that. It will, however, have space for all my books and periodicals, guitars, amps and sundry bits and bobs. Oh and all the wife's stuff and with a little left over for the Fredlet, which is a win.
