POLL: What's your dream home?
Comments (21)It depends what stage in life you are at...my tiny Covent Garden flat was perfect pre- kids...then moved to suburbs/country...house with 7.5 acres..youngest now aged 19.. don't need a big garden.. dream of a city penthouse and a carefree lifestyle again! Don't wish for a mansion...even a beautifully refurbished place...very isolating....See MoreHow do you keep burglars away from your home during the holidays?
Comments (7)Well one tip I wouldn't recommend is thinking that having a car on the drive is going to discourage burglars - they'll probably break in to nick the keys for the car. I was woken by burglars who had come in my house a few months ago in the middle of the night and they were in my Mercedes on the driveway with the engine running - they just couldn't work out how to release the parking break! I RAN outside (stupid idea) and confronted them and they abandoned the car and ran. The experience was the first time ever I have not felt comfortable in my own house, and the next day I put it on the market and moved area. I did lots of reading on the topic afterwards and it seems like lights on and TV on are still the best deterrents - burglars don't want to meet with the owner during the burglary....See MoreWould you have a fireplace in your dream home?
Comments (21)I love open fires, fireplaces and stoves. I miss my old cottage that had the coal-fired range in the kitchen, open fire in the sitting room and the luxury of an open fire in the bedroom. Ok it had no central heating and the reality would see me living in the kitchen in the winter months and running upstairs with a shovel full of burning coals from the kitchen stove to start the fire in my bedroom before bedtime. The bio fires look quite tempting where it's more something to look at than a heat source. Watching flames is very theraputic, dream house would have fireplace/stove in living rooms, bedroom and bathroom....See MoreWould you consider having your (elderly) parents living with you?
Comments (24)I know this is an old post, but I thought I’d add that saying that Southern Europeans have their elderly live with them has not been my experience. My Italian cousin has her elderly mum live with her and it is driving her round the bend. Her mum has always been a difficult and demanding woman and even more so now. She is not doing it out of love, but duty. Another cousin has arranged for 24 hr care in her mother’s home as she has dementia and is bed bound. She confessed that it’s costing an absolute fortune but she has a restaurant to run and does not feel she can care for her mum full time. My mother was a very demanding and controlling woman and I was her carer as a child whenever she was unwell. When she started to develop dementia in her 80s I did consider having her live with me, but she had poor mobility and could not manage the stairs to access the only loo in my pretty tiny house. Also I don’t think I could have coped emotionally. Plus she didn’t want to! After several falls and leaving the grill on all night, my siblings and I decided a Care home would be best for her. We are talking about a person with dementia, very poor mobility and double incontinence. We found her a lovely care home a few minutes away and within weeks she had settled in well and even made a best friend. Seeing them holding hands was so sweet! The staff were lovely and I felt very welcome there. My sister loved it there so much she started to work there. Mum flourished in the home as she had company, good food and good care and our relationship improved until she passed away 2 years later....See Moreteenytinyhouse

8 years agolast modified: 8 years agoToo many options to choose from but would be near a beach without surf (too tiring fighting the waves), lots of greenery and near enough to some civilization to get yummy food and meet some interesting people, The south of Italy, may be Puglia would be great, down to earth and friendly with fab food and swimming (although not so green).
A small house (or flat if I had to) with a view on a harbour beach in Sydney, Australia where I can just pop out for a swim every morning and with a great place outside for sharing the scenery and entertaining friends and family! The first view below on the south side of the harbour looking north would be my strong first choice but could also cope with one of the others on the north side.
