Twenty-five years
Moonface & I aren't very good at celebrating. We note special occasions, but rarely make an effort to commemorate them in any way. We're also bad at giving and choosing presents for ourselves & other people.
In September, we had spent twenty-five years in this house, and all we did to celebrate was to open a nice bottle of wine. Twenty-five years! We moved in as a young couple, taking over from a woman in her eighties, and now we are middle-aged with children almost grown and leaving.
We've changed the house, but retained as many of the original features as we could. When we moved in, the plumbing and electricity was very much of the 1930's to '50's. Now it's mainly 1980's and 90's. We ought to renovate the kitchen again; but although it is tatty everything is convenient and working. More importantly, the layout is functional: it's an easy kitchen to use.
Buying this house was one of the three best decisions of my life. (I'm having doubts about one of the others)
