Forty Green

Here's a couple of shots of our little rented cottage in Forty Green. Very quaint and not as big as it looks from the outside! The nearest part is the kitchen cum dining room with windows front and side, and the back door leading you in through the kitchen with a staircase up the back wall. The lounge occupies the bottom of the older part of the building and is about 8 feet across and despite having thee windows is quite dim and snug with a fireplace at the far end. The front porch is seldom used at the minute as the lounge carpet quickly deteriorates.

Upstairs, above the kitchen is the big girls room with a window looking out over the garden, and the bathroom cum toilet next door. Our room is over the fire place end of the lounge, with a little room for Amy between and an upstairs landing running along the back wall from the top of the steep stairs.

It's nice to have a decent area outside with trees and grass, a brook and a well - as I said it looks very quaint but you get a little mold around the windows and the old cottage walls loose heat quickly when you turn off the heating. The fireplace is most welcome at the weekends as we have a supply of wood with which to pollute the atmosphere. After three weeks sitting and sleeping on the floor we now have chairs to sit in front of the fire and enjoy a glass of wine as the nights close in. Ooo... We're not used to this....
