Dogs with accents
My friend 'N' has one of these dogs. It is a Belgian Cattle Dog, or Bouvier. Because it is Belgian, it speaks with a Belgian accent. I know this because when I was at her house on Thursday, the dog sat up at one point because she heard people outside on the street (it was then I realised her head was where I thought her bum was when she was lying down!) and instead of barking properly she did a little Gallic 'Bof'. It was hilarious. (maybe you had to be there...)
Today, we went to see another house, this one...It's been on the market for about a year and it's been 'sold' about three times. Each time the sale falls through. I've been to see it about four times now. Hubby has seen it twice. It has just come back on the market. It's a beautiful house but it has one major drawback. A house that big should have a big garden but at some time in the past the garden was sold off and now there is a new house (a bungalow) where the back garden used to be. It does still have a garden but it's pretty small.....Hard to see in the picture. But there's not much more garden than that really. However, the big upside to it, is it's location. More or less opposite the biggest and best park in Ipswich (not unlike Greenwich park really....great big expanse of green hill and big trees, arboretums, big mansion with art gallery and restaurant in, childrens area, lakes, tennis courts, the lot really. We might make an offer but Hubby's umming and aaahing over that garden....we'll see. Also, to get that location means we have to pay a premium....didn't know it was going to be so hard. Is there such a thing as a dream house?

wow, its a beautiful house, but the garden...umm, still it looks like a lovely house with a pretty garden...good luck!
nice house! looks big. Looks HUGE!!
But the garden... hmmm. tho now you have your allotment - might mitigate your garden envy?
Big house, small garden = dream. No gardening to do...gardening sucks. Down with gardening....
Hope your hubby doesn't hum too much - it looks good.
Looks really beautiful from the outside. Did you get any inside pictures? If you've got a park opposite, why do you need a big garden? Is there enough room for a table to put your wine glass on? That's enough room!
Lovely looking house Luce. I like the shape of it. I know what you mean about a small garden with a big house tho. We looked at a few like that and hated the fact that new builds had been put in place where the gardens one were. I think it would be difficult to sell on too once you were finished living there.
Tats and co have just left. I miss them already. The house is too quiet and tidy, boo hoo :-(
I hope your enjoying Ipswich. Thats a lovely house its a lovley area around christchurch park with lovely playground and the ducks. i have seen some lovely goergion houses in the area unfortunatly we have been looking outside Ipswich and also surrey to make life confusing. Good luck with the house hunting and Ipswich.
