(Not sure if it's what they call a catnick lintel... But there was an amusing moment when our builder thought I knew all about lintels when I had really asked my OH to feed the cat...)

Ah....thanks for that. I feel quite relieved!:o

Wowzers! That's really quite freaky!
I'm actually going to Houston in October for a singing competition, if it's still on the market I might pop in for a viewing!

The list of cultural highlights isn't overly long in Houston, pretty high on the list is a house made of beer cans... workman's holiday for an estate agent!

I couldn't decide if the I liked, the floral wallpaper, the triangular fire surround, or the vendors washing the most.

Used to be a little restaurant near here like that - full of china dolls watching you eat - didn't last long!

OMG - that one made me laugh in particular - the amount of washing they have lying around :eek: (yes, we all do it, but not when we are expecting estate agents to take pics!) - maybe they work as launderettes and take some of their "work" home???!!!

I wouldn't want to sleep on the left in the punch standard room. I'd keep banging my head on that shelf.

What a wierd place.:eek:

It was actually quite nice in the main areas, really relaxing - its on a farm with loads of fresh produce believe it or not, and it has its own Thai restaurant as well! It was an experience - I'd go back if they had another special offer but not at the current prices! They have another one in Beaconsfield that is a 5 star.......! (thats even weirder!!!!)
