Yesterday Mr and Mrs C returned from their trip and prepared to move into their grand new home above the village. It is a very desirable residence indeed, with fantastic open views across the valley to the mountains beyond. The house is palatial and the rooms spacious and airy. Glamour and/or soft-porn photography would be a doddle if Mr C were into that sort of thing (which he isn’t so far as I know). I could be quite jealous, but I’m not. I appreciate the attraction of a large house, having had a couple. But now I enjoy my mortgage-free, car-free, carefree existence here in the village. Emma too prefers our bijoux pied-de-terre, with its lower running-costs and its proximity to the village shops - even if we have no room to swing a cat and we have to poke our head out of the door to see the mountains. As for me, this (with the usual warning!) is the sort of open view I like best.
