I thought I'd explained that!

Derry/Londonderry

Say it out loud.

Only don't call the / "backslash", call it "stroke"

oh Lordy, do I have to try to explain the self-depreciating Oirish sense of humour.....

Oh now I understand / = stroke, see even us English are thick

I'm not sure where I'm from... I'm half German, half Dutch. I was actually born in Bavaria, but have moved so often that I manged to go to 12 different schools (some of which were in the US) before graduating. I'm currently at University in Wuppertal, Germany, but that won't be permanent. I'll have to emigrate to find a job, probably to then Netherlands, Ireland or Sweden...

Your home is where your is.

no, home is where the is. And since my kitty is buried inmy parents' yard, I, suppose this area is home... I'd actually quite like to convert the old pig barn into a house someday... Quite fitting, my romm looks like a pigsty already!

pig barn sounds good has it got a loft?

Two and a half stories actually, red brick on the outside, half timbered inside and with a view over the fields into the woods

In Wuppertal ? I never thought it was that rural.
I'm in Frankfurt/Main, Hesse, Germany

No, my parents live in the Solling, the foresty area near Göttingen. Wuppertal is rather the opposite of rural...

Pig barn sounds lovley exposed wood can look fantastic.

Hello England from Germany.

Yes, I've already been spending a lot of free time planning it... There's also a roof overhang in the front about 2m wide, if I put glass all around the sides, I'll have a kind of greenhouse entry/hallway... Plus there's still a really old oven in there that'll do fine for part of the heating... It's over 150 years old!

nice one Malabarista it sounds well planned good luck for the future.

Thankyou, thankyou... Who knows how it'll turn out though, I have to find a job somewhere first... As soon as I'm rich and famous, though, I can live wherever I want

Good luck becoming rich and famours.
