Father, House, Whelks, mmm

Had my Dad & Anna up to stay for the weekend. He bought me a large bag of frozen whelks so he's in my good books. We sat and drank beer and watched sport (not much fun for Anna) and he pruned my roses rather harder than I would. On Saturday we had a look around the house I am buying. I was a bit worried as I have only been there once before for 15 minutes and I feared my love affair might be over. Also, despite being an old man I still worry about my fathers disapproval. But I still love the house and pater was reasonably positive. "Its a hell of a lot of work needed" was his only negative comment. Much better that the "Its derelict and you've gone completely mad" that I was expecting.
