The house look FANTASTIC!!!
That is the "heart" house. We also have the "head" house which is not as great looking but sensible.
Have you got many more to look at?
No, we have finished house hunting now.
As long as either the first choice or the second choice come off that is.
Wish you luck then whatever one you decide to put an offer in on.....maybe putting in a really low offer on your heart house will pay for the roof if its accepted??? :)
Glad to see that it wasn't so rainy today for you!!

Yes, lovely day today. Walked on Hampton beach (in the fog) and sat on our jetty by the lake in the sunshine.
Very nice. Also looked at domestic appliances (yawn) to put in our budget .
We signed lots of papers today but the offer wont go in until we get back to the UK and have our completion date on the house. So fingers crossed no-one gets in there first!
Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow Carolyn.

The suspense is killing me....which one did you choose? Heart or Head?
Heart first, then head!
Both are good. No offer going in until we sign papers in the UK but we have all details drafted and waiting for the final signature when our UK solicitor says go.
We have been to Oak Island today! Thanks Carolyn for organising it. We will talk about it on the next podcast.
At the airport (Halifax) now. Back in the UK tomorrow.
Shame about the weather this week but had a great time and will be sad leaving. Next time we come though...
