This is a spooky looking house!!!!

....some nice houses..........

My favourite is the very old house I was born in. It's just a few miles outside Oxford, UK and I hope to spend my retirement years in it...........

It is a pretty typical Cotswold village house. It's been empty for a while and I'm looking out for a William Adam, Palladian style mansion in a few acres of beautiful parkland, ideally near Edinburgh............. so if you have one, we could swap!

Have you been to it btw? it kind of creeps me out (not that I'd mind if you had) if you google it and see random people that have been in it. There are more impressive ones so I would recomend going to those instead

........ that is a shame - I've visited the house when I was doing some work near there on the setting up of a mining museum, my then employer sponsored some of the work.......... small world...!

Are you serious!!! omg I just went red and am so embarassed. See what I mean though about not being able to just run around like in a normal house, like you can't accidentally scratch a wall!

That'ss so weird though, I'm giggling. I feel like being spied on. Please don't tell me you've met my mum!

....you shouldn't have posted the picture......! I might have met you!!

I was sponsored through Uni by BP and I worked on the Scottish north sea oil rigs during the summer holidays and then on other projects of theirs during other college holidays. BP invested a lot of money into the Scottish Mining Museum and I repaired and installed the winding engine................... I think they still let the public go up and down into the coal mine in it. Your secrets are safe - don't worry.......

lol that's kind of scary in a small world kind of way. I didn't know there were people who would know that area on this message board, I thought everyone was pretty much from America. That's really funny. I know strangers go through the house but to randomly meet up with someone whose been inside on an internet forum when I'm moved on and living in Australia, that's kind of weird to think I might have been talking to someone whose been through it. haha. You are right, I shouldn't have posted the picture!
