I was just talking to this lovely nurse and was explaining that going outside makes me anxious because of the people and unfamiliar surroundings and she asked me what I like most about my home and what makes it safe for me. And I thought that would be interesting to ask here as well, if you're comfortable to say of course :)
I like a lot of things about my home. All my favourite possessions are there. It's peaceful and I know I'm always comfortable and happy there. And probably the best thing is it's in the countryside.
Not a lot I know but they are big things for me.
My home is safe and it’s tucked away on a peaceful road. It’s very small with a tiny kitchen but I love it. It has a little garden at the back and I’m near to a cricket ground which is lovely to hear when the games are on. I have a low fence at the back but the neighbours are nice and I can have a little chat. I too hope I can always live here. It’s a little sanctuary and I don’t want to ever leave it.
Love the idea of hearing the genteel sounds of cricket at a distance. The ripple of applause, willow on leather…
Distant sounds can be so soothing. I love the sound of a Curlew’s call. Any bird song is just wonderful. And the crackling sound of a real fire - I love that.

My last house had fireplaces in the bedrooms - a Victorian house.
I miss it actually. I have a lovely home now but that one was so full of character.
I think the Victorians built the most characterful houses.
That sounds so nice!
