My in-laws have something, but that's not ours. My sister's in-laws have something too, but that's not hers. If it was mine, true, it wouldn't be hers but some holiday place owned by me or one of my siblings would just be fab.<br /><br />Esz - how nice to see you still read occasionally. I looked at your blog, you are so clever with your clothes making, and I love the retro styles!Melbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02257719342445833725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13506151.post-40668771321252108022013-01-04T22:34:53.076+11:002013-01-04T22:34:53.076+11:00That stunning Castlemaine property was recently fe...That stunning Castlemaine property was recently featured on an interiors blog - Desire to Inspire if I recall correctly. They have a section called Real Estate stalking ;-)<br /><br />Your more affordable option looks like it has oodles of potential! Looks spacious - has high ceilings and lovely floorboards. I'm sure they're there under that nasty lino in the kitchen too.

My father and his siblings and friends built it themselves... mostly from asbestos, which I suspect is the reason why it is still there, much as it always was. It was sold out of the family about 20 years ago. It could be bought back, but no-one can afford it now! Like you, I yearn for the beach shack, but I suspect a lot of that is nostalgia for the freedom and the simple way things were for us back then. <br /><br /><br /><br />suze2000https://www.blogger.com/profile/14654931317486825200noreply@blogger.com
