From school teacher to living in a schoolhouse. I'm tired of living in a hotel waiting to find a place to live, but I also want to find a place that will suit me. I think, after looking at lots of really expensive, tiny roomed properties, I have found it: really, really expensive with big rooms and a schoolhouse to boot. The building was used as a school house for the workhouse that was next door a hundred years ago. During WWII, it was used as a recuperation hospital for soldiers.

The buying process can be daunting here, plus the exchange rate with the pound really stinks right now, so I will be renting for a while but have a good plan. I'm glad the landlord will allow me to have a cat, despite his "no pets" policy, but when I saw he had a cat, I knew there was a good chance.
