Appreciating home ownership

[mtbc]

It feels odd to be back in a rented flat having lived in our own detached house. I enjoyed the feeling that my family and I could be truly alone, left to our own devices, even for the long term. So long as it were legal, we could do what we liked in and to that house, and keep on doing it, just so long as I continued generating at least some income. I savoured having a small world all of our own that was nobody else's business whatsoever.
