So when I left I was homeless, literally. I had no rights to the home we'd created. Yup stupid, it had been an on-going bone of contention for years and had driven a wedge between us greater than even I realsied. I first saw Ambleside on an Estate Agents website and it was perfect. It had had some renovation but still needed an awful lot of work, it had new wiring and most importantly new central heating. I can't live without warmth and putting in heating was expense I didn't need as there was no double glazing which would be the first expense. I rang quickly as I knew it was exactly the type of property a...
landlord would snap up and I think I was one of the first people to view. It was very run down but it had a lovely feel to it as soon as you walked in despite the first impression, even the Estate Agent said she had a 'soft spot' for the house. Everyone who visited in the first few weeks I moved in, when it was in its rawest state, commented on the 'good feeling' Having surveyed a great many buildings in my working life, I have experienced the 'feel' of a building good or bad when there are no obvious reasons for either. I firmly believe that buildings absorb the 'energy' that exists within them over the years and it was obvious this little house had had some very lovely times. Despite its outward appearence, inside it was still smiling :-)
