Home Sweet Home, Home Is Where The Heart Is

I’ve been rich, I’ve been poor, but North South East West, they say home’s best!

I used to think my ideal home was an apartment in London, where I lived one time.
We were a community, and it was an ideal place. We all had to move out. In retrospect, it was not my ideal home. London and circumstances changed, and London is no longer the place that it was. It was exciting, colorful and good, productive too one time.

Covid virus made me appreciate a house and garden even more than any apartment, surrounded by other people.

I fell in love with the home that I live in now, even though a derelict at the time. A lot of work later, I call it ‘Home’. It’s still a lot of work.

Bosphorous

Beach house in Aus..just amazing architecture there.

My dream home would be a seafront house on Australia’s West Coast, a perfect lifestyle, or an apartment overlooking the Bosphorus, as my heart has always been in Turkey.

My courtyard and garden………….Bosphorous

Below my bedroom 100 sq mtrs, I love the spaciousness.

Is it the things we collect on our life journey that make us feel at home? I could not bear to part with some treasures.
My Grandmother always said…You cant take your treasures with you!

Perhaps there is a piece of my heart in many places or perhaps I’m just a dreamer in life.

What made you choose your home, necessity, love, a person, the architecture, geography, spaciousness, or job? Neighbors? Neighbors…Not!!!
How do you really feel about places you lived in? Did you always have a real choice?
Have you collected what seem to be treasures for you? What makes your home, home?
What governed your choices?
Did you always make the right choices or did you improve on what you had?

Enjoy the discussion post images, music, and chat with friends.
Politics, and sometimes religion, doesn’t always go down well in a discussion.
Most of all, enjoy your friends. LFE is a place of respect for all who post.
