It must be hell.
Chairman Bill : thank-you for the first laugh of the day...I'm off to your blog for more... :-)
I can't imagine being in that stone building with so few windows.
I feel like I'm back on a sightseeing tour of "old" Europe. Do you still love where you live? Does it get lonely for you or are you friends with many?
Hi all -- the picture's misleading. Where the arrow slit is - that's the level of the ground floor. There is just rock below that. The window is the upstairs room. The owner has been really sensitive to the original (and to local planning laws) in restoring the house. There isn't much light downstairs, but sitting beside the hearth under the ancient beams by firelight is a scene straight out of Brothers Grimm - wonderful. There is some outdoor space incorporated into the house so the owners aren't actually troglodytes -- who wants to spend too much time indoors when you live in such a beautiful place anyway?
Hi Gutsy Writer -- yes, I still love the place. Hard work with the two kids, but it's a priviledge to live here among the countryside and the wildlife. The community here and in our local town is full of kind, friendly people, and we really feel as if we've been taken to their hearts.
