We have ... I suppose we should have taken them down by now!

when I bought my garden I had the fun task of throwing away all the plastic honesty seed heads the batty previous owner had planted in the flower beds - if I remember rightly some of them had glitter on them so I suppose they might have been christmas decorations. . . . . .

PS that was after I'd thrown away the black plastic bags she used to mark the edges of the flower beds

Sue, how was the INSIDE of the house decorated? Or dare I ask that

[SueG]

well since you ask there were a large number of mirror tiles on one wall of the sitting room, the wall paper throughout the house was a dull silver anaglypta type, she'd knocked the wall through between the dining room and the sitting room and had painted the stubs of the wall and across the floor where the wall had been in a colour I can only describe as 'fresh cowpat brown' (I can be ruder about the colour!) with stenciled sweet peas on it - they did not help. Oh and the front door had been bought at a car boot sale and no effort made to fit it to the door frame. Needless to say, none of the above now exists.

Ah well Sue ... all good things must come to an end ... at least you could enjoy them for a short while!
What else attracted you to the property?

Yep. 2,000 acre new golf course/8-storey hotel/timeshare development at Aberdeen, partly on an SSSI sand dunes site. Even his own ecologists joined Scottish National Heritage in warning that at least part of the development as planned would be 'unecessarily destructive' to the Site of Special Scientific Interest. But he wanted it as planned and the powers that be have said okay for 'economic reasons' (as in grab the money and run).

well there was the size of the garden and the fact that I can sit in it and not hear a car, friendly neighbours and a local wood with red squirrels - what more do you need?

[ranunculus]

I was only joking Sue ... I'm sure your house, garden and location are beautiful.

Just wait a little time for memories to fade and see how many of the decision makers have non executive directorships. Go into politics and make money!
