Escape to the Country Season 24 Episode 3: Northumbria (2023) | FULL EPISODE
[Music] First Impressions really do count when searching for a new home in the country it looks like a house you might draw really doesn't and particularly property exteriors that immediately draw you in it's a smiley house what do you mean well it makes you smile doesn't it oh that's lovely but we can't Overlook the importance of a warm welcome inside too I could see sitting here on a cold night yeah we find so many rooms to sit in we need even talk to each [Music] other today we're escaping to North Umbria once an important Kingdom in the Early Middle Ages the modern-day region includes the most Northerly County in England home to some truly epic Vistas and plenty of Elbow [Music] Room North umberland isn't the least populated county in the UK but it is in England so for anyone looking to make an English Escape that involves Serenity sparsity and a landscape with a view that speaks for itself Northumberland is a pretty good place to start lying in Northeast England and bordering Scotland the modern region of North Umbria encompasses the historic counties of County Durham known simply as Durham and north umberland where 97% of the land is classed as rural North is an amazing County it's uh full of beautiful castles beaches the roads are empty not overpopulated it's an amazing place to live the people are super friendly locally quarried stone is used in much of the architecture here showcased beautifully in the village of Corbridge once a little town supplying food and Provisions to the Romans it remains a popular Place full of charming independent shops I like the fact that it's so rural but there's so much to do so one minute you can be in a city or the next you could be up on hran wall having a walk through the mud and it's just lovely to be outside whether ancient settlers Baby Boomers gen xers or Millennials North Umbria continues to hold great appeal as somewhere to set down Roots family comes first is the main reason for this Escape because today's couple are understandably Fed Up of making the8 hour round trip to see their son in Newcastle to them the solution is simple move closer and calling the experts to help that's us by the [Music] way hi we're Alan and Rosie we've been married for nearly 50 years and as you can see there's a slight hype difference between the pair of us we spent most of our married life in a 17th century Cottage in the country and then we moved here 9 years ago closer to the town as we've decided decided that we're going to make that move to be nearer to our sun we thought if we're moving we may as well get back to living in the country again mton is a great place of being connected to the rest of the country uh but this is a for path that we often walk the dogs along and as you can see the motorway is quite busy we just love to get back to the countryside again so that we can enjoy our peace and quiet and peace and quiet but also enjoy things like you know being able to go bird watching easily we've done all sorts of things in the past like beekeeping and keeping chickens and we've done a lot of rural things in the past the good life we went through very much the good life in our younger days although in a different phase of their life now they are looking forward to shaking things up again I'm hoping that with moving up into a completely new area that there's going to be lots of exciting new things to do people to see um and places to go yeah we're getting older but there's still things we want to do yeah Rosie and Allan have £550,000 to spend on their new home they'd love a detached property with at least two bedrooms and potentially a small project a good Garden is a must for them and the dogs as is off-road parking and a garage they want to live in a village community that's no more than 30 minutes from their sun paol in [Music] Newcastle when Rosie and Allan and the dogs move up here hopefully to one of the houses that we find them they really are going to have the best of both worlds moving closer to family and moving to this absolutely glorious County even in the rain it's beautiful but before the house hunting gets underway I think it's best if we all meet up to get to know one another Rosie and Alan I can see why you want to move here whenever we've been up here we've absolutely loved it you know it's quite an unknown part of the country for us and so yeah it's lovely so this big shift for the two of you in lifestyle closer to your son moving to a new County how do you think it's going to change your lives and your daily lives well we're hoping it'll make us young again we're pushing a luck I think on that one I'm hoping it's going to been more relaxed life people seem very friendly so we're hoping we're going to sort of after a few weeks months we're going to slot in have a new social life so tell me the situation with your current property we would like something pretty quickly we've got a buyer for our house at the moment um naturally the buyer would like to be in okay so all we need then is to find you the right house right now and I think we better get going yeah that's right our North umbrian property search starts in the Durham Village of medomsley a 30-minute Drive Southwest of Newcastle in One Direction and around 5 miles from the north penines in the other a former mining Village medomsley has two dog friendly pubs that both serve food and host quizzes charity nights and live music a residence Association organizes events for the whole community and keeps the communal spaces well presented here we are property number one what do you think well it looks very nice from the outside nice yeah lovely I like the clad bit at the front the clad porch gorgeous the clad porch yeah yeah it's nice looks sub substantially built I think is probably the way too yes okay so I think we should have a look inside thought to have been the old pit manager's house this detached Stone Cottage dates back to around 1850 but it has been extended over the years and now provides a range of versatile living areas we're starting with a dining and sitting room to the front of the home I think this is a gorgeous welcome to this house it is beautiful very nice I like this I like the feel of this room you like the height I like the height yeah plenty of light through the windows yeah it's nice it's good I like the the floors what do you think Ros you're taking it all in I'm taking it all in any thoughts no not yet I haven't seen enough I thought you'd say that but it's dining area that I'm a little concerned about ah okay well I think there yeah there are plenty of options here let's just say that thank you this flexible space sits in the center of the property with further separate reception areas to either side which include a study and the main sitting room oh this is nice yes I like this is cozy got nice little feet in the fireplace excellent I could see us being here and sitting here on a cold night yeah we find so many rooms to sit in we need even talk moving to the back of the property we find the kitchen it has been stylishly renovated and features a breakfast bar contemporary ceiling lanterns and bfold doors to the garden oh that's nice have a look at this yes yes oh this is this is lovely yeah this is lovely yeah flooring is great yes very dog friendly flooring for a star it and uh it's just got that nice brightness to it this is exactly the sort of place we like um I like this this little bar here as well is this you settling into a space no it's me wondering whether there's going to be enough flow of work surface for us I can tell when she's thinking deeply she goes quiet and calculates and I think oh what's going on now but I'm taking that as a good sign because I think if if you're thinking deep you're thinking how could I live here well that's right yeah oh yeah I think I would know that if rosi had thought this is not the place for me we'd have known by now if there were any lingering concerns about workspace there is a solution a door from the kitchen leads to a large family room with more kitchen units and seating ideal for entertaining this house is very generous with its Lounge areas yeah it certainly is and nice high ceilings in here as well so this is like a combined utility room sort of snug pretty much yeah or or entertaining area entertaining it's not my type of thing but I but I quite like it there's plenty of space now you were concerned about the dining area area at the front I mean this could be an option this could be yes it could be indeed all these places could be I like this as it is as a seating sort of we're used to a snug where we live now I think it's time for you to to be set free to go and roam this house on your own have a look upstairs and I'll see you outside okay okay head out that way by when it comes to bedrooms there are four in total here including one on the ground floor as well as a useful shower room oh downstairs bedroom that's quite handy oh that's nice yeah that's nice future proofing a little bit for us isn't it next door in the study a second staircase leads up to a room in the eaves in use as a den oh now that was I wasn't expecting that no oh yeah I've got to be careful my head for the I here yeah it's just a storage really isn't it well it's a yeah you find a use for it the main staircase back in the center of the house leads up to a spacious family bathroom and the three remaining bedrooms all of which are comfortable doubles goodness bedroom Yes again lovely window plenty of room for wardrobes is yes yes there's good sounds coming from up there I think they're really taking to this house definitely cast The Net wide with this property lots to offer but I'm wondering if it might be a bit too much for them another big room yes that's a nice big again with lots of storage and I I do like the big Windows yes there's a lot going for it has got a lot going for it and there's a lot going on outside as well out here we find a large level patch of lawn a double garage several seating areas and a couple of out buildings look at this now this is good oh I like this yeah this I like this trou is we'd never use the rooms in the house would we yeah this is lovely yeah we like a good summer housee yes complete with a WC it's another additional living area in this substantial home there you are yes had a good look around there are so many rooms yeah it's it's endless surprises I think yeah and I think the garden would be big enough how much do you think this property is on offer for I would think probably about £500,000 I think I'd go a bit higher than that I think I'd go 525 well I've got to say this first one goes to you you are spot on however that said you were also right it has dropped in price by £25,000 so it's been on offer for 4 months right and the current price is £500,000 goodness me that's under budget at £500,000 this detached Stone Cottage has a number of living areas four double bedrooms and a good-sized garden with two high-spec out buildings that offer yet more entertaining space it lies in a well served Village and is just a 30-minute drive from their son in Newcastle pleasantly surprised really pleasantly surprised I'm even go a little bit more and quite enthusiastic it could work for us very well well yeah obviously there would be some things that we' make alterations to um but I think You' need to live in somewhere like this for a start get the feel of it and then make the alterations later it feels very comfortable doesn't it I feel surprised that it is so comfortable it feels like a home it's good feel yeah a really good feel [Music] the market town of halt whistle in the tin Valley is nestled between the North umberland National Park and the north penine area of outstanding natural beauty it's renowned as the exact geographical center of Britain I came to help with for the beautiful walks the countryside were literally a mile and a half 2 mile from hen's wall and of of course the community is fantastic you know everyone's welcome lovely people and smashing place to live the town has a range of independent shops which give the High Street its own special identity it's also a well-connected location with two trains an hour running between here and Newcastle a journey which takes a little under an hour carile can be reached by rail in 30 minutes but walking is the reason why so many people flock here so we're sending Rosie and Allan for a stroll around corfield Quarry just 2 mil outside of the Town they're meeting local katriona Mulligan who is a passionate Champion for her hometown it's absolutely beautiful it is um on every every sort of weather even with you know the Mist today I hear Hol whistle has a walking festival and you are the lady who actually runs this it's true yeah that's right there's been a walking Festival here in hul whistle for 20 years and we run the festival for 10 days at the end of April to the beginning of May we've got at least three walks and events each day shorter ones longer length and very often special interest walks as well looking at mosses and lyans or fungi or um archaeology and they tend to be at a slow pace as well very popular bird watch watching Walk and of course they managed to cover about a mile and a half in about 4 hours yeah corfield Quarry is a great place to begin an exploration of Hadrian's Wall a UNESCO world heritage site the stone fortification runs 73 Mi across the width of England and was built to guard the Roman Empire to the South hadrien arrived here in ad 120 and said this is where I'm going to build my wall it was built in six years it's quite phenomenal especially with the accuracy of some of these things it's just amazing and they had no Dynamite you know this was heun and chipped all these Stones they all faced by hand so this would be a hive of Industry there would be lots and lots of people working here hauling Stones using block and tackle to live when you're looking from the north it would be pretty intimidating because you've got the cliff you've got Hadrian's Wall that's 20 ft and then you'd have a Roman soldier on top of that so they were about saying we're in charge and they certainly were this was a military zone you could not pass through without laying down your arms you'd come through here through a mile Castle you'd lay down your arms and you would pay a fee so they were certainly controlling what became their Northern boundary fortunately Outsiders get a much warmer welcome from the locals these days as they will continue to discover when our adventure here starts again in the [Music] morning Rosie and Allan are a couple who really know what they want but today I want to put that to the test as I show them more of this brilliant County I'm really interested to discover how they're going to react to more of a community feel and just how big their Vision really is we're beginning our day in north umberland in the rural Village of Longhurst a couple of Miles Northeast of the town of morpeth and not too far from the coast the closest amenties can be found in pegwood where there's a bakery a doctor's surgery and a supermarket as well as a Mainline train station on a direct route to Newcastle a single Journey takes about half an hour with Advanced tickets costing less than $10 a few minutes away by car our next viewing is centrally located in Longhurst so this is the next property you want to show you yeah it looks sound looks sound sound okay it's quite an imposing solid building isn't it yes it looks like a house you might draw really doesn't it it does but it looks interesting I think this house will surprise you there's a lot more to it that meets the eye so let's get started bill bu in 1945 this detached house was constructed with the local stone that is typical across the region right let's come into this Lounge right yay first thoughts love the floor yes like the boards have been done beautifully and it's a a big room it's lovely nice height ceiling yeah nice height ceiling you get the light coming all the way through here lovely Windows you've got a great view where you're sitting and relaxing you got your wood burner right cozy and a nice feature that's nice yeah yeah a nice wood burner lovely things beyond the living room at the back of the house there's a large and light dining room plus a utility and useful cloak room then to the other side of the hallway we come to the kitchen breakfast room nice little breakfast table there yes that's nice yeah nice position nice surprise so in terms of this kitchen the style the amount of surface area the flow how are you feeling I feel it's a little bit limited for surface it's workable very workable isn't it plenty of cupboard space and then you've got a pantry over there and oh a pantry Pantry talking oh this could be the determining Factor onry doesn't matter about anything else I'm leaving the couple to explore the upstairs at their Leisure which includes a smart family shower room and three bedrooms a single and two [Music] doubles be the main bedroom yeah nice and big bright window yeah again all these lovely floorboards yeah very nice second bedroom yeah but just big enough double bed yeah space for for a guest room and it's about wardrobes it was a guest room that would be plenty outside there's a huge lawn edged with mature shrubs plus a handy out building and garage both built from the same Stone as the house then we come to something that wasn't on Rosie and Allen's wish list I promised you a little extra with this house yes it's not a little extra it comes with a whole second house all right come on let me show you more I know they're definitely up for a project and in my mind this two-bedroom Annex could be just the thing to keep them busy now this surprised even me it certainly this is certainly a surprise yes all this space you got a lovely open plan kitchen Lounge area you could let this make a bit of extra income yeah it's certainly something to think of that why don't you have a little Wonder around we'll do that and then I'm going to meet you back out there because of course we still have to discuss how much this properties on the market this is a difficult one yeah right let's have look through here okay that's that's really nice really nice little bedroom yeah it's deceptively large actually little bedroom is it it isn't oh it's got their own little garden as well yeah and upstairs is a second bedroom another little room right another oh Suite yeah it's surprise isn't it it's a surprise yeah with the tour finally complete it's about time we talk cash how much do you think this property is on the market for I think £450,000 okay I would go £425,000 that is very interesting tells me a lot about what you know about the market here and your thoughts about this property because this property is on for £550,000 goodness we don't know much we don't know much about the area well you'll find that The Closer you get to the coast the property prices are higher and that's reflected here with a price tag of 550,000 this attractive 1940s detached Stone property may be at the top of their budget but it offers two reception rooms three bedrooms a large garden and the additional bonus of a TW bed Annex it's within the requested commute to Newcastle and close to the coast the house is beautiful it's it's been sympathetically referred by the people who are here at the moment and all credit to them it's been beautifully done to a high standard it was a surprise to see the extra building and it's beautifully done but I don't feel that we would actually get the benefit from it I don't think we would use the annex as a let it would be something this property is offering um that lifestyle we wouldn't [Music] use from its breathtaking interior to its raw and rugged Coastline there's much to inspire a move to North Umbria and if the region is calling you it's good news when it comes to property prices detached homes in North umberland sell for an average of just over £ 322,000 with County Durham lower still at around £210,000 and both those figures are way under the UK average estate agent Caroline Scott has advice for those wanting to move [Music] here drive around the areas because everybody thinks we're quite a small area you've got to get in the car have a really good drive around find out where all your local amenities are if you need schools check out the schools and just yeah get on the ground get to know this County exactly exactly but what's the property market like here around here we're still very buoyant Countryside rural Coastal definitely you are looking at probably having to have a higher budget um whereas if you were looking closer into the town centers although it's handy for commuting people definitely do seem to be wanting to put their money more into Rural and Coastal properties what would you say makes North umberland so special the people we have such friendly outgoing people in in North Umbria and across the cumri here as well I have to agree with you definitely the people and it's pretty gorgeous as well and choosing to buy in a North umbrian Village is a good way to become immersed in community life how about this four-bedroom semi- detached property on the market for £290,000 it's a Cozy home that has an upside down layout over the Border in County Durham this three-bedroom detached Rick and render Bungalow has a price tag of £350,000 and comes with a huge wellestablished Garden but you don't have to live here to enjoy this glorious region from 90 lb a night you could stay in one of these well-appointed holiday Huts within a working farm located in the North penin area of outstanding natural beauty which has some of the darkest skies in the country it's an ideal place for a spot of stargazing [Music] for our mystery property we're heading to Ron Village in thatin and wear the closest location to our house Hunter's family it's a pretty place on the outskirts of Ron town so has excellent access to all the essentials Community Spirit thrives here and the pub on the Village Green is even owned by the locals so we're stopping by to get the Lo down about Village Life from landlord Mick rols really intrigued to learn more about this community Pub concept what is it and what's your role here a couple of years ago this place was sitting empty it was up for sale looked like it was going to get developed so a few members of the community kind of got together the campaign for it to remain a pu whatever happens to it it changes hands whatever it needs to remain a pub but then it still sat empty so then they looked at it was happening around the the country um villagers buying the the locals so that's what they did there's over 400 people actually own a piece of this Pub that's amazing so it's like crowd sourcing crowdfunding for the PB basically yeah yeah were you a local Pride yes not all my life my wife Hannah grew up yes so when we were looking to settle down we that's how we came to writing since then what's it like you know interacting with your owners 400 plus locals it's great there there's a committee of 11 12 who are responsible for other the shareholders so that's who we kind of interact with directly but obviously then you know we see the shareholders every day you know we have like a number of Community Based activities that are on there's uh yoga there's we we put on Comedy Nights open m nights we have gigs on there's a community Cinema there's there's all sorts of boot clubs there a club for everything there's a whiskey Club well what would you say of them the key ingredients for how you've interacted with everyone and I I just love beer that is the key to running a successful C right you got to love your beer and the great thing is I'm going to be showing you two a property right here on this Village Green oh my goodness I know we don't often get to do that so I'm quite excited it is our mystery house I'm going to um wand off get us get the property ready and then see you two in a few minutes take have a bit more time getting to know more about Community Pub yes it's Mystery House lovely thank you so much right in the heart of what sounds like a wonderful Village proudly sits the final property in our lineup now I didn't want to give too much away but while we were sitting there at the pub over Rosie and Allen's shoulder I could see the mystery house it's right here this beautiful detached grade two listed Georgian property is packed with history in the 1800s it was used as a penny Bank where local miners could save their money this is one of my favorite things I love a window seat and a chance just sit down and watch the world go by heaven but with Rosie and Allan on Route it's time to get back to work that's the pub we were sitting at just there and this is the Mystery House come and take a look it's a smiley house what do you mean well it makes you smile doesn't it oh that's lovely these are my favorite properties to show I love the Grandeur of a Georgian house certainly different to anything we've ever seen or lived in before and that is why I love the mystery house blimy it is a bit of a blimy house isn't it just wait till you see what's inside they are up for a small project and being custodians of this exceptional house dating to 1750 might keep them busier than they imagined if they're up for the challenge this lovely Georgian living room it certainly is look at the proportions yeah look at that fireplace I know amazing plenty of light in it for during the day and in in the evenings yeah it' be extremely cozy room to be in I can see exactly sort of things that I'd want to do in this room really it would be a great project Ros your mouths open what's what's going on in your head I am just um dumbfounded by what I would have to do with it take a lot to make the curtains I do SE and I do make curtains I've never made any on this scale before though well let's see if once you've seen some more you start to fall in love and it becomes a labor of love perhaps come on across the entrance hall lies a formal dining room beyond that there's an additional eating area right next to the recently modernized kitchen and then just off the kitchen yet another little room this one's more like a TV room at the moment or snug this is lovely it is lovely I do like this room so this was obviously a new extension wasn't do you think you spotted the special thing about this property cuz see that door over there M there's even more to this house more yes so it comes with what could be a separate Cottage and at the moment it's rented out but as you can see there's a connecting door so you could just make it part of the whole property all right and so this connects the two I'm hearing more encouraging noises from you now warming to it yeah warming to it yeah I'm pleasantly surprised with this so take that energy with you yeah keep exploring thank you very much go you I'll see you later this is the thing with the Mystery House it really makes you work and it's making them think about what they really really want and what they're willing to do to get it up on the first floor there's an impressive family bathroom and two of the property three bedrooms oh big room oh that's nice size impressive Windows this window window is just stunning isn't it it is so it's lovely to be able to see out to the Village Green you'll be able to see the pub from here yeah another nice room much bigger than you think it is nice Window Seat yeah Fine Place make a feature of that the largest bedroom is up on the second floor and this is a surprise as well isn't it excellent but you still got plenty of light coming in on that yeah yeah plenty of light but this tour is not over yet I know there was a lot to see in there but we've got all of this to explore as well and I can't wait to show you didn't realize this you can bet you weren't expecting this certainly not no W so that door there oh it's the one is the one that comes through correct right see them upstairs you've got two bedrooms and a bathroom and the current rental income is £650 a month right yeah yeah it's good this is almost big enough for us to live [Laughter] in well let's head outside see the garden the outside area figure out how much this would cost after to you the lawned south facing Garden is a good size with lots of mature plants well this Mystery House certainly has a lot to offer doesn't it absolutely taking everything into consideration how much do you think this property is worth I think it was would be above our budget I think it would probably be 575,000 Alan I'll be optimistic and I'll say um 560 okay well the good news is this is on at £550,000 so it's at the top of your budget but you could afford it it is a beautiful beautiful house and its potential for being stunning is really there it's just a case I think in our with us is would it be a bit too big for for two of us so I think that's what we need to think over with this one at £550,000 this grade two listed detached Georgian property is an elegant proposition with Gorgeous original features it's a spacious home spread over three floors with three bedrooms the attached two bed Annex could easily be incorporated into the main house if required located in the heart of a thriving Village it's also within easy reach of Newcastle the location of this property on the Village Green and everything else around it is just fantastic couldn't ask for a better location property has got huge amount of opportunity it does need to have a little bit of TLC on on a few aspects and uh it's a case of do we feel up to doing that amount of work my heart says this would be fantastic it's just what we want but I had to engage my head on this occasion and my head says don't be silly you it needs somebody special to bring out the best in this and we're not perhaps those special [Music] people one of the best things about house hunting in the countryside is the incredible unspoiled scenery you get to take in when traveling around whilst in the region I couldn't miss up the opportunity to head into the Northumberland National Park to enjoy its natural beauty and meet visitor Development and Tourism officer Duncan wise who's been lucky enough to call this his office for 22 years Duncan thank you for meeting me here standing up here looking at this view I feel like I've got like three or four different types of weather I'm looking at you know different Vistas this is a fantastic what's it like working here it's a real privilege to be honest you know North umland has a wild beauty associated with it and it's often called a land of the far Horizon and from here it's not difficult to see why and being a protected landscape what does it take to stay protected and what can people do to contribute towards that well this is a very sensitive landscape and and we work very much closely with local land owners and farmers and other agencies to keep it special but there's a role that visitors can play as well in in terms of just looking after the landscape not dropping litter making sure that you know they're just taking photographs and leaving nothing about Footprints you know we we want to develop tourism in a way that is sustainable well it's not just this beautiful landscape in the daytime it's quite special at night as well isn't it tell me AB the Dark Skies initiative well we have so little night ution here most of the light pollution tends to come from towns and cities and larger conations way to the east of us or to the west of us but between those areas you have this AR of basically um unspoiled Countryside and unspoiled uh sky on a clear night you can look up into the night sky and see more than 2,000 Stars you can even see the Milky Way really clearly from from this location this is quite unique not just for the UK but I understand across Europe this place I think certainly we have what was called a gold tier dark sky Park International dark sky Park and it recognizes the the pristine nature of the Dark Skies that we have here and yes we we certainly can celebrate the fact that we were England's first International dark sky Park and at the time Europe's International dark sky Park that actually so special just being out here at night and I think the the most stars I ever saw was down in South Africa traveling there in the middle of the vast plain so to be able to do that in England yes must be amazing it is it is and I think you know that wow factor we see certainly children when they're looking through a telescope for the very first time seeing the rings of Saturn or seeing the Andromeda galaxy you know they're they're blown away so for the ordinary person who's going to come up here and discover North umberland and then want to experience the Dark Skies what's the best way to do that well we're very fortunately here we have four observatories here in the in the dark sky Park including K Observatory which is uh a fantastic obser you running nearly 700 events a year or you can just literally step out of your front door move away from Street lighting and just to enjoy the the night sky you have a wonderful job I can see why you've been doing it for 22 years thank you so much for SP and time with me today thank you been a pleasure it's the end of a long week here in North umberland and now it's time to find out what Rosemary and Allan are going to do next [Music] hello you to so what's this experience been like for you I think you've opened our eyes to properties we wouldn't have looked at otherwise yeah we've looked at some completely different things and that's been great really good weather is beautiful the weather has been glorious we've experienced everything we' had Sun rain wind and plenty of beauty yeah what factors have been coming into play for you as we've looked around possibly the fact that we'd like a property that would be easily um made ours so that we have time to actually explore all this wonderful area um that's quite important really so have any of our properties come up top trumps this is the first house the first house we liked it immediately we went into it and we would certainly like to see it again and if it's if it's right then I think we'll try and move on with that one good do so good news you seem very keen but I sense some hesitancy from you Rosie uh I'm still not 100% sure how I could manipulate the downstairs to be the usable space that I would like it but it's worth looking at a game so all going well if you go back and have another look could this be the house for you it could be I think it could be yeah I think it could be yes yeah you you you're particularly Keen aren't you I am Keen yeah I'm keen on that one so we'll see well make sure you let us know what you decide and if you go ahead and I can't wait to hear that you settled down and enjoying the community out here I wish you all the best thank you very much thank you thank you I really do wish Rosie and Allan all the best with their second viewing of property number one and I'm really excited for the start of this new
