My house up for sale

I have put my house up for sale. Dissatisfied with living in the city, (after having my car vandalised a few months ago and being burgled at the beginning of August) I have decided to move back up into the hills where I lived between 2000 and 2003 and wrote my PhD. There, in a year or two, when my life has slowed down sufficiently, I will be able to write a book. I have already stopped going to choir. There are many other involvements from which I will now gradually pull back, to lead a quieter, slower life, with room for views, for thinking, and for writing.

N.B. Took house off market again in October, when it became clear the market was heading rapidly downhill. I have put a good deal of energy into renovating this old Victorian 2up2down. 1876 it was built, as I understand it, and the horsehair in some of the plaster I had to replace seems to date from such a time. There are some photographs here that tell some of the story.
