    Slothery! Definitely slothery!

    By the seaside is good! The turret must have a sea view!

    And, and, a music room, pretty-please. With good acoustics and a plethora of instruments including a baby grand in front of the French windows leading out into the rose garden, so that in summer, they can be flung open, allowing the sound of music to drift out amongst the roses while a gentle breeze wafts the delicate voile curtains.

    Oh! Oh! And secret doors set into wooden panelling! I've always wanted a secret door!

    And a few (friendly) geese!

    And a tame crow! Must have a tame crow!
    Talking of crows, have you seen this clip of a crow who has discovered how to snowboard for fun? If anyone doubts their intelligence, prepare to be convinced!

    And this one! A crow wants a shiny frying-pan that a man is holding. It has worked out that if he undoes the man's shoe-laces, the man will have to put the pan down to re-tie the lace, so while the pan is on the ground, the crow tries to take it! Genius!

    I can bring my geese.

    No one cow though. If there are group / herd animals they'd have to have friends. ( its one of my 'things') So three or five cows really. :o

    When I was a toddler apparently a one legged crow used to follow me menacingly. Ever since then crows have stared at me. I like them, I just wish they wouldn't stare.

    Busy days today and tomorrow.

    You forgot my spiral staircase and stable doors.

  • Morning all! We have to have many cows!

    A little story- me being a city girl knew very little about farm animals. WaSp and I were in Yorkshire and found a field of cows. Well, I leant over this little stone wall and the cows started walking towards me. I was completely charmed by this so found a hole in the wall and climbed into the field to greet them. WaSp, who grew up with many farming relatives was by now stage whispering me to get out of the field. I completely ignore him and went happily skipping off to find myself in the centre of a huge group of curious cows who gathered around me. I was happily stroking them (they dribble a lot!) and apparently disappeared from sight into the middle of the herd. It wasn't until I made my way back with a cow escort that WaSp went a bit mad telling me never to do that again because if they get spooked they will stampede. There were lots of people with dogs and people making noise walking past and apparently you aren't supposed to do that under those circumstances.

    I adored the cows...

  • Swimming pool please. And there must be an orchard and raspberry bushes. In fact an arboretum would be nice :)

    Not cow, LIR, crow.


    Not that keen on cows, prefer goats! How about a couple of pigmy goats? I like goat's cheese!
