Why I’m going ‘all in’ on this Victorian cottage
This wasn’t part of my life plan. Freshly divorced, the wrong side of 60 and without meaningful employment. That’s the good news.
But I have to question my own judgement having just committed all of my disposable wealth to the purchase of a Victorian semi in my village in Banburyshire, England.
The house, in a condition best described as ‘dubious’ or as estate agents would put it, ‘an exceptional opportunity’, has, let’s say, been mismatched with its previous two partners. As a double divorcee we are true soulmates.
Yet the desire to have a roof over my head and knowing this village is where my heart is, has brought this scruffy cottage (aka No. 16 High Street) and I together.
I hope to restore her back to beauty both inside and out.
My patience, stamina and sanity are guaranteed to be tested in the months and years ahead.
