Don’t bother reading, it is much the same as what Jax said, only with pics. So just look at the pics. Pretend to be a Sun reader.
Welcome to Brighouse
The town has a roundabout dedicated to the Brass Band. As a feature, it is a bit spoilt by the sod off, bloody great Tesco, right beside it. In the background, you can see the famous (or so I understand) Ritz Ballroom.
The Important Stuff Unpacked
We got beer, we got wine, heck we even got a nice cold cellar to keep it all in.
Mud
Well that is not quite fair, but we do have a heck of a lot of naked earth in the borders around our new garden. I am wondering if it is possible to buy “catering packs” of mixed annuals.
BTW, serious thanks to Jonathan Sotp and Steve (that sounds like some sort of stage act, ventriloquy, or magicians), without whom this move might have been possible, but would certainly have been much harder.
Seems like quite a nice place does Brighouse, even if it is in Yorkshire. And, I found the local fish and chip shop this afternoon, we will have to go back some time when it is open. It is next door to the pub. Handy that.
…. … … Jax says, “You haven’t put the pictures on of Small, eating his dinner”
Have so
i like brighouse!! glad move all gone so smoothly.
But where are the photos of the range and of the sacrificial altar in the cellar?
Jonathan has a serious case of range envy, especially having been out this weekend to the house of some friends with an Aga.
And I still won’t let him have one.
I wasn’t going to blog t’ range until Jax has got through blackleading it and polishing it. But she has got to get t’ front step scrubbed first, walk t’ ferrets and fetch me some Woodbines. Ee, I think I am turning Northern. Ayup!
Jan – we love our Aga and wouldn’t now have a house without one (or the ability to install one). Marcus was extremely reluctant when I first suggested it, and insisted on having a 4 ring halogen hob and oven/grill also installed on the other side of the kitchen. They serve to collect dust and assorted paperwork that we can’t be bothered to tidy away. Once you get one you’ll fall in love with it.
Thanks Michelle – but Jan says that she’ll just ignore you on this one 🙁
um, might have missed this along the way but are you still selling the other house or planning to rent it out? or something else?
We are probably going to sell it, although we are considering renting it out.
