Quaint

I'm in the UK at the moment staying with friends in Aylesbury. They recently moved from The Netherlands here and now live in what has to be the cutest little house that I've ever seen! It's a real cottage, and if you're thinking, aren't cottages small? you're not far off. It really is. The entire house is about 70 meters squared. But I'm in love with it!

When you walk in the front door there's a small living room with a period fireplace that's the focal point of the room. There's white painted wooden cupboards on both sides. The door on the other side leads to the kitchen, which is the biggest room of the house. The cupboards are also white wood, which is exactly what you would expect. The door to the right leads to a small hallway which in turn leads to the bathroom of good size. It's cold in there in the morning, but it's big enough for myself and two friends to do our evening toilette in.

The other door in the kitchen leads to the garden, which is questionable bigger than the house itself. It'll make a great place for the summer with a raised platform.

In the kitchen there's also a staircase leading up to the second floor. Upstairs there are two bedrooms, no hallway, pretty much the stairs lead right to the doors. Both rooms are spacious and the hard wood floors there, complete with paint splatters add a great character to the house. It's small, but anyone walking in would automatically feel like they're home.

I do.

Today's plans are to go to oxford. It's about an hours drive from here and is one of the oldest and prestegious of England, with it's famous university.

Have a good day and see you all soon!
