I've been busy teaching today so I haven't had time to think much about house buying and selling - which is probably a good thing in some ways. Tonight I've been looking at some of our old photos of the house the way it used to be when we came here 11 years ago. Unbelieveable would be a serious understatement! I am reluctant to let anyone see the evidence. Words like overgrown wouldn't be an exaggeration. I can't remember it being like that at all - but the photos tell the true story I'm sure. The miraculous change has been brought about by my very hard working and long suffering husband. He has transformed the property - and that explains why his emotional connection to it is greater than mine. Some lucky person will reap the benefit, I'm sure.
Speaking of lucky, I found my lucky Japanese coin today when I tidied the van slightly. It had been lost for a few months and I have certainly missed it. Then, coincidentally, when I was looking through my photos to see what I could add to illustrate this post, I came across this photo of a four leafed clover (also lucky) that we had growing here for some time.
My friend Margaret had a patch of them in her garden and she kindly gave me one of the plants which I grew here for a time. It doesn't seem to have duplicated itself though. All I have left is the photographic proof! Here it is. So I'm feeling lucky and that's all I'll say about that!
