I made an offer on a house in Wales...

...the Wales in Massachusetts, that is. It's a tiny town of 1,700 people that's 70 miles southwest of Boston, and 150 miles northeast of New York City. (130 miles from Fanhihall, where I'm currently living) Twelve miles from the intersection of
I-84 and the Mass Pike, so it's convenient for friends driving through to stop by.

Four acres of woods, two streams running through them (both streams well below the grade of the house). Largish Dutch colonial/Dutch gambrel style house (Ninety-three square feet larger than Toad Hall. Once a fan....) Loft office above the heated attached garage very similar to size and style of my attic office at the old place.

I don't have it yet, and don't know that the buyer's will accept my offer, etc. The usual. Still, all very exciting, with the hope of more good excitement to come. Time will tell; updates will follow.

Best of luck getting the new house. Sounds like a lot of outside space, nice setting. Also a lot of maintenance, involving chain-saws occasionally.

Glad to hear the streams are significantly below the houses level, too.
