Home Sweet Home
England By: Carmen on Oct 31, 2004

So we've been meaning to show you where we live for a while... but good things take time.

Kitchen/Lounge
Here is our kitchen. It's pretty new and has all the essentials: microwave, oven, dishwasher, full size fridge, underbench freezer. The oven and hobs are gas (as are all the ovens, hobs, and heating over here) which is so much faster than electric to cook on. The lounge and kitchen are joined and on the same floor as our room.

Our bedroom
Our bedroom is pretty big and is basically a bedroom at one end and an office at the other. We had a whole lot of photos printed while we were in Thailand and they are all up on the walls and the bed spread is also another Thailand purchase.



From the outside
This is from the road. That is Kate's car out front in the disabled park (which isn't a disabled park anymore apparently). If you look really closely, you'll see Aaron in the window of our room and Kate popping out from her loft bedroom.

Bathroom/Laundry
Just the norm here - shower, basin, toilet, washing machine and drying rack. We also have another toilet - which is good at times. The bathroom and spare toilet are on the same floor as Richard's room. It is work in progress, but I'm used to living in half-finished houses so I feel like I'm at home.

Back Garden
The garden is quite big - a lot bigger than I expected from a London house and is off the back of Kate's parent's flat on the first floor. We made good use of it during the summer, getting out there for BBQ's and just to sit in the sun and read.

Think that pretty much wraps up the tour - hope you enjoyed it!!!

And on a lighter note... Would you give money to this man?

Hi to Aaron's dad and good on him for getting out there and helping out with the collection for the blind
