At last....
I have somewhere to live.
Two bedroom council bungalow on the top side of Llanfyllin to be exact. Front garden, good sized back garden with enough room to erect a 12' x 10' workshop for the bike, enough space for a greenhouse, and still enough room for plenty of veg growing. There is already a brick built outbuilding split into two; one section is good as a garden tool store, the other part has windows, a workbench down one side and will serve as a good sized potting shed. The passage way between my bungalow and next door is comfortably wide enough to get the bike down there. There are five long, shallow steps to go up first so I shall construct five low, wooden ramps which can be placed temporarily each time I go up or down them, and then lifted and stored out of the way. There are also allotments in Llanfyllin at £30 a year, and I am now on the waiting list. Moving date is 3 - 4 weeks time, there is maintenance work going on there at the moment. Once it's complete I can move in. I'm familiar with Llanfyllin and have friends living there. I also have had some involvement with the place via a community arts organisation for more than 20 years. |

Re: At last....
Once I'm in and settled, there may have to be a modest celebration.

Re: At last....
Congratulations. Good to hear your luck has changed.
 I note your priorities: 1) Garden big enough for a workshop for bike 2) ...and a greenhouse 3)... and a potting shed 4)...bike access ok 5) nearby allotments. We assume it has running water, electricity, a roof? Decorating? Who cares you can get back to gardening!
