I love that post! I love the idea of your dear father building you all a house he designed and I love the idea of you all enjoying it. I remember well you telling me about him and the song that spoke to you that he loved. There are some very good reasons why you loved the seaside house more than the Georgian one...
First of all not only was it designed by your lovely father but it was NEW! Therefore it carried no energy from the past. Secondly, it was filled with light - this is SO important! Thirdly you had views of moving water. Combine them all and you had all the ingredients for a perfect environment!
I have a passion for Georgian properties because of the scale of the rooms and the light and the symmetry. I love symmetry. However, FSM said houses with history are anathema to Feng Shui. He actually told me I have a family of French people living in my wine cellar and they play cards all day. They moved in in late 1700’s he said...He told me to move them on I have to have children playing noisily in the wine cellar. I thought long and hard about that but since I have never seen or heard them and since they don’t bother me at all or cause anything to go wrong (that I am aware of) I would rather they remained; as I hate the thought of displacing them and would worry where they would go. I must say I thought he was a bit bonkers when he said that. Also, the wine cellar and the gym next to it feels lovely (to me). I like the energy of it as it is.
Just to say, energetically - when someone else passes responsibility on to you it is very natural to feel resentment of the extra responsibility - so I get what you say about your mother. I don’t think you resented your mother I think maybe you resented the fact that it put pressure on you. I also understand what you say about the upkeep of old property. It is never ending. My dream at the moment is to have an architect design me a new house of Georgian proportions with everything built into it. It might be hard for me to leave my garden though. If it had sea views and a beach to walk Teddy Bear on I would be delirious. I have been really thinking about this lately. I found a house recently that would be perfect just outside Bath. It’s described in the blurb as a modern masterpiece and it looks Georgian from the outside. However, it is opposite a church and a graveyard. The Church is a poison arrow in FS because of its shape and a graveyard view is a big no no. I lived in Bath years ago and loved it and the house was in a Crescent and had 101 stairs. If I left my phone at the top of the house it might stay there for days because it was such a fag to go back up for it

. That house had a sizeable Feng Shui story to it which I may refer to from time to time as we go along. Eventually and reluctantly I had to move. It was my perfect home but my energy and its energy didn’t always agree...despite my very best efforts. At the same time I had a London flat which was bright, ultra modern, overlooked the river and I LOVED it too. There I had my minimalist life. Everything was white and linear and if you put a newspaper down it made the place look untidy. I loved the simplicity of it and always felt very centred when I stayed in town.
Talking about corners (this is the second time corners have been mentioned) I thought maybe we could all get our heads together as a group and nominate a day when we could all clap our corners to activate the energy. I haven’t done that in the house I live in now but always used to years ago. In addition we could all get sage and smudge sage in our homes and then if we all did it on the same day we would have a very interesting topic to discuss together. If anyone would like to do that as a group endeavour do say. It might be really good fun and we may all experience some very good energy from it at the same time.

Just a little idea, no pressure though...
