You have us. Some lovely i...Lass, you're not alone. You have us. <BR/><BR/>Some lovely ideas there, some really nice thoughts. The ideal home? <BR/><BR/>For me, I'd have to have a city pad. Some kind of big Georgian front, with the steps up to the front door, and the crucial bit, steps down to the lower levels. We'd have the black and white tiled hallway floor, with a staircase. Not stairs, but a staircase. The kitchen would be a multitude of rooms, with larders and pantries and higgeldy piggeldy passages. There would be a family room, a dining room, a library/study where I would write novels/plays/research papers/symphonies/haiku: lined with books and busts and those cool little moving ladders to reach the ceiling. <BR/><BR/>Sash windows.<BR/><BR/>An attic room, a nursery (old school perambulators). A drawing rooms, a back garden with trellises, lawn, rockery, some genteely kept herbs and fruit. <BR/><BR/>The lower level would be solely for the purpose of music and entertainment: the children (2, maybe 3, never 1, nor 4/more) would learn, and play, and there would be walks on Hampstead Heath, and picnics at Kenwood. <BR/><BR/>Bicycle rides in London, trips to the country to walk (and see Alex, Rob and the kids, of course). <BR/><BR/>Idealistic? Why not dream?Alex Segallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01999518026715239653noreply@blogger.com
