New or Old?

I mentioned in my last post the drafty, rattly windows of my flat which is in an old building - well I have decided I much prefer it to a brand new house. Today I accompanied a friend to look at a couple of houses - all brand new and on a new estate...not my thing at all. Apart from being very hot and stuffy (hermetically sealed really), and being built far too close together they all looked the same, same plan, same layout, same gardens - everything. Now to some I know that may be just what they are looking for, a blank canvass if you will, but I really love older buildings, I always knew this but it was nice to have it reaffirmed! Long live my rattling windows and drafty hallway!
