My Folks Bought A House!

I just took a call from my folks who are still sunning it in Greece- they put an offer in for a property and got a call this morning to say its been accepted ..whoohoo! ...they're totally thrilled with how quickly everythings gone altho they were glad to have a local grecian on their side whilst the bartering was taking place *L ..apparantly there was almost fisticuffs *hahaha

The ivy has all been cut back since these piccies were taken and the walls are brand spanking sparkly white now - these are the photographs that appeared on the website advertising this place so i'm really keen to have a look at some of the pictures my dads taken- i let him take my new camera with him and he was made up so i think i know what i'm going to be getting him for his birthday this year =) ..they've been looking at this place online for a long time and i knew they were keen but with the tidy up job, my dad said they just had to go for it.. the house is in need of some repair but they will be able to live in it while they do that.. its exactly what they wanted- 3 or 4 bedrooms, a 'new-enough' kitchen to work with until they can upgrade, a greek feel and a sizeable garden of 300 square metres- enough for my dad to plant a few veggies no doubt =) ...and the courtyard is outstanding.. i think that outside/inside feel is something my mum is going to really relish..

..no further details as yet but its nice to know that my folks still have over 2 weeks of their holiday left now to finalise any details and they can actually relax and enjoy the rest of the time there- i hope!
