DingDong, what a gorgeous bedroom... absolutely love it! Just my thing. A lovely old property too by the looks of it - am I jealous?

I seriously miss the old character houses I've lived in. Can't beat the character of an older property, whether it's in the wilds or in the suburbs.

Life in a small 60s detached bungalow in a very quiet cul-de-sac whilst lovely on the one hand, is seriously boring on the other.

Re: What is your home like.

I live in a tiny barn conversion, I have tried to trace it's history the furthest I got to was the mid 1700s where it is described as a barn connected to the local coaching inn. The inn is across the road and is now residential.

The barn has had a chequered history it's last use was a garage for storing Leyland Buses it was then converted and we converted it again when we downsized and bought it. As I said it's not big two bedrooms and two bathrooms....have to admit after downsizing I miss a big garden.

Thank you Pesta. It took a long while but we got there in the end (well, almost). We moved from a 60's house and they certainly have their benefits. They are much easier to maintain for instance. What's odd is that when I was younger I hated Victorian houses, they depressed me just looking at them; now, I live in one. It's funny how age changes us.

He's not that big really, just bigger than the others. I will have to take a pic, although he is a bit shy sometimes. I might have to pretend to be doing something else then spin round and catch him out.

A new thread maybe?? Show us your bears!

You can start if you don't mind because I am waiting for some sofas to be delivered and have no idea what time they will get here.

Re: What is your home like.

I love that all the soft toys have their own chairs...I wonder if they swap about when no-one is looking?

Lovely room LD
