    I do like this one having driven past it on school run but why have the photo of the side of the house showing the graffiti on the wall?

    Rational judgement, now, at this very moment.

    Virtuous action, now, at this very moment.
    (Wisdom, Courage, Self-control, Justice)

    Willing acceptance - now, at this very moment - of what you can’t change

    Because that amazing stop sign is worth a photo?
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    For some time now I've been trying to work out why people seem to have taken to putting "words" on display. Bath, Relax, Home, Love, Amore, Mum, Happy or XOXOX and similar. What is it about?

    It is to show they can do reading and are thus intellectual.

    Yes but where is the rest of the bathroom, after all a bog is "bog standard" so to speak but they haven't shown a bath or shower.
    Find out who you are and do that on purpose (thanks to Owain Wyn Jones quoting Dolly Parton)

    There is no bathroom.

    But it is nice to know that a shower is actually installed in the shower cubicle of the "en suite".

    For a 3-bedroom house it is strange to find only an "en suite" shower and a ground floor "cloakroom WC". I suppose this works for a family with one small child and no overnight guests.
