12/05/2016, VENI VIDI VICI.

The house looked even uglier and more neglected than I remember.A massive garden at the front and the back that hasn't been loved for a long time.An outbuilding filled to the brim with old furniture and clothes,I could hear rats and mouse running above us, living it up,undisturbed for years. I explained to my friend that I could never ever live in the house,not even with substantial alterations inside,I would have it pulled down and have something modern,light,spacious, constructed. So to me only the land was of any value, not the house itself. I had told her in the past how much I would like to have a garden to enjoy and this certainly was a garden with potential and a half,but it is simply too big a project for me to take on now. I could see the disappointment in her eyes. The family has other viable options,my friend and the son are graduates, so the intelligence is there to make the right decision.
