Normal service will resume soon

House hunting for the past few days in Worthing and Winchester. It's all too depressing. I need about 300,000 pounds more than I have to get somewhere decent -- and by that I mean with some character.

Is it so wrong of me to want a characterful late Victorian/Edwardian house with a decent number of bedrooms and a 60ft rear garden AND off-street parking? I'll take a semi-detached (I'm not greedy, after all) and it only has to be within 20 minutes of a town centre (on foot). But ti turns out the south-west is blighted with estates -- hundreds of estates with identical houses and no facilities.

I think I just want to go away and cry for a bit. Or read some celebrity gossip.

Back later.
