It looks as if Miss Osc and her hubby have been successful in renting a house near us! Because nobody will lend them money to buy, they decided to rent out their own house and rent instead for a few years until the banks decide to lend money to people who are perfect candidates for a mortgage Houses to rent in this area have many prospective renters but this time it looks as if they have been lucky. It's a bit beyond their original budget, but because SIL plans to work from home, part of the rent can be set against tax apparently. It's a gorgeous house, huge, probably bigger than they need in all honesty. But they wanted a 3 year lease whereby the landlord was only originally interested in one year (the departing tenants have been there 2½ years), however they emphasised their close links to the area, SIL's brother lives literally across the road, we live less than a ten minute walk away, and the agent seemed to take a liking to them. The owner lives in Mauritius. There are still a few things to be ironed out, but it's looking more than hopeful

This is the house..

So any spare vibes would be welcome!

Oh my! That's lovely Osc How lovely to have your little chap so close I hope it works out x

That's beautiful!!! Osc I really hope they get it - it would be wonderful to have them so close by

Can I ask how that house name is pronounced?

Oh Osc, I do hope this works out for them - what a gorgeous house it is too!

Vibes are on their way over the Irish Sea as I type!

Pronounced simply it would be "coon on ore". It rather boringly seems to mean "eastern bay" according to google (I'm not a fluent Irish speaker, too many years of having it forced down my throat when in school made me dislike it strongly). Actually Mr. Osc has delved deeper for a translation, and has come up with "golden harbour" which sounds much nicer

Loads of vibes from me over the Med Osc.

And how utterly lovely to have your family so near to you.

In Spanish golden harbour is dorado puerto.

That's lovely Osc - thanks for that

What a lovely meaning. Is there a sea view from there, do you know Osc?

Not a huge one I don't think, we haven't been in the house yet. Apparently the trees and shrubs you can see in the garden photo have been removed. When they looked at it last Saturday it was a misty day, but SIL thinks there is some sight of the sea.

Okay, that's me even more jealous I love a sea view, even the tiniest one would do me!

Any idea when they should find out if they have it?
