Well, I meet one of those criteria :)<br /><br />Did/do the residents get to cook, eat and bathe in the privacy of their own flats or were these functions conducted communally? The garden photos are lovely... I hope there were benches outside.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3287675141745937676.post-35382402192378499022017-06-08T17:55:38.666+01:002017-06-08T17:55:38.666+01:00Thank you, Kay - I was excited to finally see insi...Thank you, Kay - I was excited to finally see inside when I did the tour. <br /><br />Tony, it seems busy enough even now with all the shoppers!
