Lifestyle, lifestyle

Middle class with miserly tendencies. House tends to be decorated in renovator’s muddle combined with “early student eclectic” and a soupcon of “Sally Ann discount”, with clutter (Victorian, Edwardian or otherwise). Quiet pleasures suit us best, nightlife for us is watching for the owls and raccoons.
