Kingston Court – The name of my street, where I have my home. A little home on a street of adjoining red brick houses. Only five rooms in fact. But my home all the same.  Large and cosy living room, my favourite room in the house. Where I can relax and put the feet up – literally, on the Ottoman – with a cup of tea or a beer or glass of wine. And a good match or movie on the big screen. Throw in popcorn, chocolate, more beer and I’m happy out! A small functional kitchen, where I love cooking in the evenings to relax and unwind after work. As well as enjoying tasty food. Chilli beef, hot stir fries, tomatoey pasta dishes, chicken and chorizo paella. All prepared carefully while listening to a favourite album or sports on the radio. My bedroom, and one of my prized possessions…my bed! One of the most comfortable beds I’ve slept in during my lifetime, making bedtime a treat every time. A second bedroom rented out, and a small bathroom with a big window getting plenty light. Five rooms. A little garden with a rectangular patch of grass, and a shed with a red door. An old but solid barbecue and newer picnic table and chairs means I’m all ready for al fresco dining and entertaining for the summer. Bring it on.

I sit here now in my living room tapping away on a keyboard with feet up in low lamp light. Looking around at this room and feeling content. One day I’ll buy a bigger house and hopefully settle down with a woman, maybe start a family. But for the moment, what more do I need in a house?!
