No malice. Pudsey, no? Between the Great City of BRADFORD and some place called Leeds. Northern folk are the best.

That’s great to hear! Your new gaffe looks great, and I’m glad you’re out of all that nonsense from the last place. 
West Yorkshire and the people are generally so good up there. I hope you have a wonderful time in the best county in England! ❤️

Pies are loved everywhere in the North, but the NW has cornered the market. It’s where you’ll truly appreciate such a fine product. 
You need to speak to @FranticPea 
From Wigan (originally, I think?), but relocated.

I've a pretty big garden, but it's on a hill and bumpy, so horrible to mow. Plus side is that it gives me a bit of distance from loads of overlooking houses.

One day I'll bother to chainsaw all the rubbish trees that line a ditch on one side. There used to be a field opposite, but now it's all housing they've wooden fences. I've had enough of trimming them every couple of years. Gonna build a new shed first, though.

A few neighbours also have overhanging trees they get funny about me cutting back too much. I understand it — we're both struggling for privacy, but obviously it's more frequent work.

Haha. Cheers mate. That reminds me I still need to go to the pie shop.

I've been coming down to West Yorkshire quite a bit now I'm homeless and I realise I really miss it. So many pubs and so many trees. Nobody ever mentions the trees but they're amazing.

I put in a bid for a Govan flat that has a home report value of £185k. I thought my bid was generous but it went north of £300k. Wtaf is going on?

Finally moving house this week, after 10 years in the tiny current place. We were supposed to move a couple of years ago, then Covid hit, so it's quite a relief.

We've only shifted about 20 miles, but that's a pretty big difference - from Nicosia near the middle, to Kyrenia on the coast. We can just about see the sea from the upstairs on one side, and the mountains on the other. And there are 3 bedrooms, one of which will be my study and games/TV room.  

Holy shit that looks nice.

Looks lovely Jon. Hope the move goes well.

It's actually a little cooler on the coast. But still over 35 degrees. Not the best time of year to move, perhaps.

Congrats Space

Cheers. Just can't wait to spend some time not shacked up at a pals. Being homeless is not fun, and although I have a roof over my head it's still stressful. His missus has been very understanding considering they have a two yr old. Paying cash should speed things up but it's still going to take 3 or 4 weeks. They have to do money laundering chacks apparently.

Congrats, SG! That's a lovely looking place. Particularly like the 'what's behind door number 1?' vibe on entry.

That place looks amazing SG, love everything about it. Nice find!

I mean, that's what they've always done, but these new rights the tenants have in scotland (6 months notice??) and during Covid has made them shit a brick. Spineless fucks. I do hate them.
