The Annex
Originally uploaded by schawley.

This is the house we finally found after about a month of house-hunting. We've now been living here for a month. Looking for furnishings, we've had many weekends spent at "car boot" sales, which are sort of like open flea markets, in which folks will come to a parking lot ('car park'), and open up thier trunk ('boot') to sell things- a little like all the yard sales in town rolled into one parking lot. Kind of fun, but also a little tiring. Ebay (yes, they do have it in England too- take a look at www.ebay.co.uk) has also been a good source of furnishings. One of the main difficulties has been getting things home, because we've decided to try not to have to own a car here. More on that later.
