Love the sound of the new book :)<br /><br />Have Fun<br />HelenHelenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03984438742736003285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-78715109943336724582015-05-21T01:25:38.747+10:002015-05-21T01:25:38.747+10:00You're right, some houses have a good feel, ot...You're right, some houses have a good feel, others are just creepy. And before the real estate company gets to them and sanitizes you can see how the family lived. Very interesting.

I love imagining the families who might live in the various houses...or the kind of person I would be if I lived in them. Such fun. And I agree that houses can definitely have a feeling or aura to them. :-)<br /><br />And now you have me eager to come to New Zealand to discover Devonport for myself!Michelle Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07748538761711892080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-32542924880063085142015-05-20T08:40:46.399+10:002015-05-20T08:40:46.399+10:00Love houses, Yvonne.

Devonport is a fabulous place and a wonderful setting for your book. Lots of gorgeous properties there.

Like you I'm fascinated by other people's houses and how they use them and love nothing more than an excuse to prowl around or even explore floor plans and imagine how I'd use them. It's one of my favourite things.<br /><br />Love the sound of 'The Wife He Couldn't Forget' and having been to Devonport I'm imagining a very lovely home indeed. I bet you enjoyed imagining it.Annie Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16804740491737358014noreply@blogger.com
