A big mistake in Malvern (Rousse)
Going against everything we ever said about looking ahead to our old age and future-proofing our modest living arrangements accordingly, TPR and I bought a huge derelict old house in Malvern. We were now burdened with an enormous ‘project’ that … Continue reading
Humpty Dumpties take up residence in run-down farm house (Rousse)
I pushed open the back door of my cousins’ farm house and walked into the kitchen. There several members of my extended family were seated at the kitchen table, but only one greeted me: TB with a low groan. I … Continue reading

Pensioners purchase Perthshire sporting estate popular with Germans (Rousse)
My elderly in-laws bought a sporting estate in Perthshire. It came complete with a majestic main house, numerous workers’ cottages, stables and other outbuildings, and a stretch of prime salmon fishing (normally let out to rude German tourists who had … Continue reading

A home in the Pentland Hills and a bad tempered husband (Rousse)
High in the Pentland Hills, we moved to a lovely large bungalow with beautiful views of the city of Edinburgh in the distance. The one drawback was that our new house was underneath a pylon and several criss-crossing electricity cables. … Continue reading
A view of Edinburgh Castle and a cat in the dentist’s car seat (Rousse)
TPR and I didn’t miss the city when we moved to the outskirts of Edinburgh. Our house was a luxurious new-build with an extraordinary number of bathrooms. From a thin window on the top floor, we could see in the … Continue reading
Housework for a ride (Rousse)
I had an appointment to meet Steve Rickman in his office at the university at 8:00am. It wasn’t far along the coast, so I planned to walk along the shoreline to our rendezvous. I hadn’t considered that this would be … Continue reading
Riding a water envelope is more fun than house clearing and lecturing (Rousse)
When we were recalled to my parents’ house to finish the clearing job, we admired the garden in the beautiful spring sunshine. Our progress was slow, especially because all the utilities had been disconnected. Even the simplest of tasks, such … Continue reading
A new life in a house by the sea (Rousse)
At last, my dreams of a house by the sea were fulfilled. Granted, the village would likely be overrun in the summer, but that was a small price to pay for the view, not to mention the enormous garden with … Continue reading
Renovating in Ripon (Rousse)
JMH and MCF bought a fourth house, this time near Ripon in North Yorkshire. Like their previous property purchases, it was in need of a lot of attention to make it a comfortable home. Poor MCF had his work cut … Continue reading
