Anyway, it's all just a playground for Sophie Rose hasn't-got-a-clue isn't it?
I just can't fathom why she didn't buy a house with more land if the plan was to keep animals. It's like when I was 7 and tried to convince my dad we could keep a pony in a 30m2 area at the end of our garden because I decided that was all the space it needed if I took it out for rides daily.
I totally understand having an emotional connection or loving a house a lot. But a normal, sensible person would look at the practicalities of their dream and whether it's achievable.
A very similar house not too far from me was up for sale at 2/3 of the price she paid, at roughly the time she was house hunting. It's a bit of a way out of Maldon but more rural than she is - the views out to the coast are beautiful from this house. Anyway, the house had like 8 acres plus stabling included and it is set back from the road. If I had the money I would have snapped it up in a heartbeat.
I just struggle to understand why she's being so pigheaded and barrelling ahead with her dreams of a menagerie when the space she has just isn't practical.
didn't get decs for the big tree in the garden at Xmas either, despite slyly begging through dropping hints about "not being ready or having time"
