House at the foot of the mountain.

I wonder who lives in this lonely house which is drawfed by the majesty of the mountains behind it. I imagine it could be a farmer who farms sheep 🐏 in this wild and beautiful land.

Perhaps not such an easy life when the snow sets in and the blizzards blow.

Would you like to live in a house like this. If not, what would your ideal house be.

Very best wishes.

Kim

That house would suit me. Do you know where it is in the world?

Yes, it's in Snowdonia in North Wales. I took the photo. It is a beautiful area.

Oh wow, that's a very good photo you took. I've never really visited Wales before, just passed through. I will have to check it out sometime in the future.

That one is too high maintenance for me. I need a small yard or even shared yard or enclosed garden. The mountains are wonderful. So is the green. I live in a dry climate. Beautiful in its own right but skin ages faster. Lush green is one of my favorite things about England.

Yes I love the mountains, where abouts do you live?

Rocky mountains :) I tried Merida, MX for a month which is really, really flat. I discovered I really like the mountains more than the sea. I like the sea too but if I had to choose it would be mountains.

That sounds an amazing place to live, I love to hear about that and the wildlife you have there. I live in the South East on England on the coast. It is very flat there. I'm on a peninsula with estuary and salt marshes within walking distance on one side and sandy beaches and little seaside towns on the other. I think like you I would choose mountains over sea if I had to choose. That's why we have a little holiday home in Wales. We have mountains and a really beautiful coastline too here.It had always been my dream to do this and managed to achieve it now I have retired.

Best wishes

Gorgeous!!! I could not live there; it's way too isolated for me. Would be nice place to visit though.

Thanks, yes I agree. This seascape though totally different has some of the same quality perhaps

It's beautiful. Far enough uphill so as not to be at risk of flooding with that wide flood plain. Looks more like a sheep farm than a cattle or arable farm.

I'm nearer the sea, up an estuary. much gentler land in the South,

Cheers, Midori
