7TH TIME A CHARM: HOUSE HUNT UPDATE #3

Another week of looking at property after property after property... which brings the total up to about every semi-rural property in Australia.

Wednesday night brought two potentials, one fixer-upper and another very modern and shall we say... interesting home.

On Thursday afternoon, we decided to take a look at property which we have seen online for ages, but one reason or another never made the final cut.

It is an old plum orchard feature the homestead and a separate cottage, for those visitors who wish to come and help pick the billions of plums from the trees... anyone?

I hate plums.

However, the rest of the property is amazing and that is why we put an offer on the place.

To which the offer was actually accepted... and not taken back!

I would normally show you some photos right about now, but the real estate photos don't do the place justice so wait a while and I will post some really good ones.

Thank goodness! Now I can get back to my normal routine of martini drinking.

That reminds me! In the local town closest to this property, there was a small shop and I actually found a jar of maraschino cherries!! I search I have been on for several years now.

Which means I can now, once again, have a proper Manhattan.

It must have been a sign.
