    • @GermanTopGameTV
      @GermanTopGameTV 4 роки тому +22

      I think this is entirely based upon the fact that she bought the house when it was an average priced home for normal people - so of course, a normal family moved in. They are not the rich folks that buy these houses for millions of pounds, they simply lived there while the neighborhood made huge gains in price. That's why on the inside, it looks like a normal home - lot's of live is there. Books that have been read, art, pictures, furniture that is being used etc.
      When you visit homes from super rich people, you'll find lot of unused space, filled with "look good" items. Clean surfaces, never used appliances, few personal items. They usually have several properties, so they don't have all their stuff in one place. Our family had a summer home in the countryside and it was the same thing. While our homes in the cities were clearly lived in, the country home was clean, organized and somewhat liveless whenever we visited - no one left personal items there. There were all the necessities to live comfortably, but they all had the "like new" feel cause they didn't run daily. There were no spices in the kitchen. You could not find an empty package of dishwasher salt. It's the little things that give away wether someone is actively living in a space or wether it is just a temporary residence.
      I guess that whenever you reach a stage where you constantly change your place of living, all your places start to take on the clean, liveless style.

    I absolutely loved the lady on the bicycle who immediately welcomed you into her home without reservation. I have a reverence for traditional styles. Of course seeing all the wonderful treasures collected over the years were a map of her life and the passions that she and her husband have shared. . . and I trust will continue to. The book collection was amazing. I particularly admired that although she is living in such a 'swank' neighbourhood, she has remained an elegant and gracious lady. Perhaps she did extend that invitation to be invited back for tea and scones. Just a tip on the wax seals--the wax is poured onto the back of the envelope and then stamped. Great touch of formality by the way! Can't wait to see what you gents will be up to next.
    Cheers,
    Darryl

    You guys love yourselves that much that you were given exactly what you asked for ‘To view around people’s homes’ and you managed to F.. it up, by videoing yourselves non stop inside the homes, thinking that you were more important than getting the actual content of inside the home.
