Well, it is true . I am looking for a Windmill property to live in; meaning I am not looking for a windmill to power my home, I am looking for a home. Also, I don't want a windmill ornament
to decorate my Christmas tree or a souvenir windmill from Holland . I am looking for the real thing. Please readers help me in my quest if you can!
And why the sudden interest in quirky homes you ask? Well for one thing , I have always had an interest in extreme abode dwelling(s) and I have seen people on TV living in strange places , one I remember being a Windmill. But in truth my prime motivation is Jealousy, pure and simple. I remember hearing about a Brit Com writer happily living in a windmill. I looked at my humble abode and, no doubt about it ; not living in a windmill ! So jealousy is my prime motivator!
I looked up windmills here in Canada and there were lots to choose from. Most were in Quebec. Yep, I would even go back to Quebec ( yes, go back meaning I did live in Quebec but for a very short time) but unfortunately nothing was for sale. They were mostly museums now. I've worked for the museum before but don't want to live in one. So, my search has been expanded
abroad. I can't look in the US as I don't think they'd let me stay there, so I will have to search in Europe. In the UK ( I am a Brit by birth but in this usage of someone from that enchanted Isle I used to call home I should use the term UKie but that just seems silly) I did find one for sale.
It's going for around 150 thousand quid..(300 gazillion CDN $'s). So maybe I should put in a bid. Nah, that would take courage. And as I have never bought a house before even at times when I could have afforded one I think me actually buying a windmill very unlikely. But I also think it is about time, high time, tea-time, quality time and high 5 time that I put fear of real estate to the sword and man up and buy a place to live. Whether it is a normal 3 bedroom house or 2 bedroom condo, or a bleeding windmill house doesn't matter. My real enemy is fear! Wish me well in my search of becoming a man and my search for a windmill house abode! Blades included!!!!
