The house is similar to this one |
Some women have an obsession with shoes. Others with purses or jewellery or even handbags. Mine is houses. Old houses.If I had money, I'd probably be shopping for houses the same way some people shop for clothes. Potentially expensive hobby, I know, especially because old houses always need to be fixed up and maintained. But damn, what a way to go broke:-)
This month I saw a house that I'm sad I can't have. It's my street. Built in the 1930s as were many of the houses in this suburb. Spacious, with 5 bedrooms, office, sunroom and huge livingroom. Well-maintained, though there's a bit one can do to personalise it and make it better. It has a nice garden too.
The church doesn't want to sell though ( I asked), because their means of income through rental. And even if they did want to sell, I can't afford it. I wish.....
So. What is your obession?

Dang, that's one heck of a 'thing' to have. Mine is pretty much books. Even when we are living off basic survival groceries, somehow a book doesn't count as a 'real' expense.
