when this old world starts getting me down ....

Which happens a lot these days - 

I climb way up to the top of the stairs
And all my cares just drift right into space
On the roof it's peaceful as can be
And there the world below can't bother me
(Carole King)

We visit the house today.  The builders are finishing off the roof and invite us up to take a last look round.  It's an amazing view; this is facing North East towards the fields of Northamptonshire.

We climb down smiling.
