Oh, it's charming! (It needs more Bob and more Ebby, though, said the complain-y one. :o )

Thank you for sharing with us.

Now you are closer to family, right?

I just love being invited into someone's home and that's how I feel when one is kind enough to share pictures like these. Thank you Chris. Your home is charming and appears to be a comfy one for you, Ebby and Bob. I got a kick out of the handsome chap (Johnny Depp) you have posted on your wall. You naughty girl! :p

Very cute. I've always thought that houses over in the UK look really quaint and homey.

Chris, it looks so cosy and it's nice and light. Not much traffic either, I take it. You're lucky your back door isn't in front of that brick wall. :) You even have a little garden! Are you allowed to grow veggies - or at least parsley out there? And have you met any of your neighbors yet?

It looks like a nice cozy neighborhood/village and the inside is so cute! Thanks for sharing it with us.

You have got a wonderful place! I love the garden area. And the livingroom looks so cozy and inviting. I love all pillows on the sofa. I'll bet you really love it. I know I do.

Hope you enjoy the new place, Chris!

I had to laugh at the last pic.....of course there's a Johnny pic above the bed. :D

Very nice! Obviously a cat lover's home; I see a cat tree in front of 2 windows, lol!

I love the garden and those vinyl planters. I see them each year at our garden show. Dad is a "dig in the earth" gardener, so we can't have one.

Adnt eh kitchen, I like the sink with the attached draining area. No need to have a bulky unit taking up counter space.

Very nice place, when is the party for all of PT to come visit? ;)

Of course, we are interested in seeing pictures of your new home! How many times do people get to move to a new one? I doubt if we ever move.
Your new home is very nice - it looks so cozy and inviting. It's nice that you have a back yard area for Bob. Congrats!

I agree with AmberLee- how did you manage to take all these pictures without Ebby and Bob?
But it looks great- very nice place.

Thank you all for looking and for the lovely comments. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/CwmmawrJet/Smiles/grouphug.gif


Now you are closer to family, right?
Thanks and yes, that's right, AmberLee, my son and his family live a short walk away. :D Though they have just put their house up for sale, not sure what's going to happen when/if it's sold.

I got a kick out of the handsome chap (Johnny Depp) you have posted on your wall. You naughty girl! :p

I had to laugh at the last pic.....of course there's a Johnny pic above the bed. :D
Wouldn't be home without Johnny to gaze one. :D

Chris, it looks so cosy and it's nice and light. Not much traffic either, I take it. You're lucky your back door isn't in front of that brick wall. :) You even have a little garden! Are you allowed to grow veggies - or at least parsley out there? And have you met any of your neighbors yet?
Randi, you're right not a whole lot of traffic goes past really, but enough to be aware of.
The garden would be fine if I could just put up a little fence across my portion so Bob could run around free, as it is he can only go out there on the lead. :( On picture 7 you can see the whole back area for all the bungalows. Turning right at far end you come to another entrance like mine, but that gate is left open a lot. So besides not wanting to let Bob run over and maybe mess on other peoples grassy patch there is also a real danger of him running out on the road.
But back to your question on growing things. There are couple of bushes out there but as far as I know no other planting is allowed. That's why I brought the green planters with me, I can grow what I like in those. :D
And, yes, I have met two of my neighbours, both very nice people. A lady named Margaret, who lives right next door and is very friendly and helpful, and a lady named Rachael who lives in the next one down who is friendly too, but I haven't seen the person who lives in the last bungalow in the row as yet.

... It needs more Bob and more Ebby, though, said the complain-y one. :o

I agree with AmberLee- how did you manage to take all these pictures without Ebby and Bob?
Barbara, I didn't quite. If you look at the first living-room picture there's Ebby on her tree, and in the last bedroom pic there's Bobby in the door/gate way. :D

Thanks again, everyone. {{{hugs}}}
