Thank you. There's still a lot to do: big things mainly, like French Windows from the dining room into the garden; replacing three other windows to something closer (but double glazed) to the original wooden sash-window fittings; maybe installing a 3.5Gw array of solar panels on the South-facing part of the roof; and a summerhouse/studio for yours truly. Nevertheless, Madame will be pleased at the compliment.
When we realised we were going to be parents we started looking for the right house: in my case keeping Palladio and Vitruvius in mind: growing things respond to their environment, and beauty is a necessary part of the equation, and SWMBO relying on her natural good taste.
It took six months before we moved in, in February. One classic weekend we saw fifteen houses in a row.
It is a pretty house, and will be prettier if we have our way: but still, there's not quite enough room to put a grand piano in comfortably.

Oh, the hardship: it's so difficult being me. :)
