I've been thinking about that roommate post all day - as one does - and honestly, that is exactly how my smol corner of tumble town feels.
Like a big ol' house with dragon turrets and wizard towers, and teeny tiny nooks and crannies where the piskies linger, and the goblins sell deep purple umbrella drinks for half a chocolate dollar.
Window seats in oval alcoves, a carefully page-marked book resting neatly beside a well-loved stuffed rabbit - one eye lopsidedly re-stitched after a smol run-in with an errant floof, cushions still warm from being sat upon for hours by the body that just got up to fetch a glass of chocolate milk and a cinnamon biscuit.
Spiral staircases leading absolutely nowhere except on rainy Thursdays when a secret room appears if you step on that one wooden tile in exactly the right way.
Ornate balconies filled with tiny lemon trees, birdbaths and carnivorous plants, lipstick marked wine glasses on dainty wooden tables, while a pair of black lace knickers flutters gently on the breeze.
In the kitchen, well used copper pots swing gently from hooks set in the beams, and the microwave beeps the "end" signal to the cat lying sleeping in a sunbeam.
The huge dining room, table set with mismatched silverware, granny's best porcelain, and a few candles thicker than a man's arm, burnt down to the wick; the scent of freesias tickling your nose.
And a room entirely stuffed with bean bags and books - so.many.books! and chonky wingback chairs, fluffy rugs invitingly strewn in front of an enormous fireplace, rainbow light streaming through stained glass windows.
Outside, a forest of endless trees; swings, hammocks, and hidden secret corners bedecked with summer roses, perfect for mid-afternoon tea.
Beside the pool - sparkling lasciviously in the morning sun - a pile of soft towels teeters precariously next to the unicorn floatie just begging to be allowed in the water.
We won't talk about the dungeons because even here, some things are too intimate to share.
Living here is good. Very very good...
