Welcome to family, friends and visitors. Here you will find interesting (hopefully) pictures of my part of the world, news of our household and probably, long ramblings about anything that catches my interest.

Grey.

Another grey day with no view beyond the river at any time. In the morning I went around putting away clutter and making the rooms as tidy as possible. Peter had a meeting which was probably a good thing as the viewing couple turned up with three children. Two of the boys go to the local school so we had a nice chat about their teachers, my old colleagues. The estate agent  had told us they've only just put their house up for sale so there's little chance of them making an offer. They were also going to look at the other bigger house near the garages. One bit of hopeful news was the fact that they had planned to view a house in the next road but couldn't because it had gone under offer. That means the market is picking up again.
As I'd made the house as tidy as possible I thought it was a good time for a virtual tour. Pushing the armchair right back gives a better idea of the size of the sitting room. The exercise bike is tucked in to the left.
Painting the walls white and the glass panelled door made the hall a lot brighter than the original dark grey.
The kitchen is bright and serviceable though it's ready for a makeover. 
Believe it or not my study counts as a double bedroom because you can get a standard double bed in it. Since the last viewings I've put post-its on the wall with the measurements so that people can work out how furniture would fit in. 
Again, this counts as a family sized bathroom. The bath is to the left and many of our viewers have said their bathrooms are much smaller with the shower over the bath. To us it's a tiny bathroom. 
Peter's study which includes a rowing machine.
And finally our bedroom. We have a super-king bed and when we were house hunting we had to turn down many properties because the bed wouldn't have fitted. The bedroom in Borth is huge with enough room for a wheelchair or walker should we ever need one.

Nice having a tour of your house.
The hall looks nice and bright painted the light color.
I think having your house neat and tidy helps with a sale too.
Sounds like a good sign that the market it picking up a bit now.
Hopefully it won't take much longer to sell.
