I like a rags to riches story. Why can't my life be a rags to riches story? lol
ReplyDeleteYou need to start selling fish at the green market like them LOL
DeleteLooks lovely! I'm busting my ass to have me my own rags to riches story. However, I like to think that I'd live more modestly and not flash my wealth unlike the Hardacres. The next town over is full of massive homes, and I look at them and wonder why that's the goal for so many. I'll be buying land and building a modest little cottage away from all of the flashy rich folk.
ReplyDeleteWhere will you house the butler and the minions?
DeleteI fully intend on building a second home on our property. A tiny guest home that visitors can stay in when they visit. I am at the stage in my life that I don't want anyone in our home anymore. They can come in for dinner, but they better take their butts our to the guest home afterwards and leave me in peace LOL
DeleteI would still have butler quarters, I need me my (Gerard) butlers 24/7.
DeleteI quite liked some of the Catherine Cookson adaptations from the 1990s though some people are a bit snobby about them. There were a couple that featured the r word in the plot - that wasn't the sort of story I wanted to read or watch .
ReplyDeleteDramas and books were not as politically correct previously as they are these days.
DeleteJust mentioned Catherine Cookson because she wrote a lot of rags to riches stories. I'm not saying that the Hardacres story will necessarily be like a Catherine Cookson story.
