Well, after a bit of planting in the rented property, we have some colour in the garden and a few daffodils. The soil is very different here than we are used to (clay rather than sand) so we are on a bit of a learning curve. It’s a lot easier to weed being so much smaller, though!
We have done a bit of painting as well, just to make the place look a bit fresher as the walls were very patchy and it does help. I’m still finding it tricky to feel fully at home in a place you can’t do an awful lot to. And I’m not even the kind of person who decorates frequently, it’s just nice to have the option!
As well as having two property inspections in the rented one here, our owned property that is rented out has been inspected too. It is reassuring to know that our owned property has good residents, even if it is a bit strange to see other people’s furniture in your home (the agents send photos!).
