Not this one

Long long day of househunting today. Set off early, and toured around with one agent in the morning, and another in the afternoon.

The very first house we saw was just wonderful. It didn't really meet the brief (being in a town with a smallish garden) but I still thought Mr B was going to pull his cheque book out and buy it on the spot.

Beautiful, elegant mansions aside, it was a day of driving around country lanes and poking around in other people's houses.

At the end of it, exhausted, we stumbled unannounced to a friend's door and were welcomed with open arms, a glass of fizz and a sumptuous feast.

(And no, we're not buying this one. I forgot to take any normal photos today, so just had the few random shots I'd taken to remind myself which house was which.)
