A photo a day of Hove, UK
I moved to Hove from London in 2007 and I'm gradually finding out about the delights of both city and seaside. Come and join me on my pictorial voyage of discovery.

seeing a picture of this house brough† back many memories. I went over this house when is was for sale before the beautiful Elizabeth Allan bought it and I put in an offer but the owner said she wanted nothing to do with anyone who was going to have a mortgage. I also found it so dark inside as most of the rooms faced North to the Kingsway and only a few faced South to the sea. Not wanting to be depressed with the darkness I awaited with interest the result of the Auction and enjoyed seeing the lovely actress move in with her charming husband.
I eventually bought a house facing the sea with the sun shining in morning and evening.
Fascinating - thank you for sharing the story! I agree with you about living in a house with plenty of light; I'd get really depressed in one that faced North.
